Middle school is a test, but Cici Reno has all the answers.
She’s the go-to girl for advice. She’s cool, she’s funny, and she’s enlightened (thanks to yoga classes at

goes online and does the talking for her. The only problem is, Cici starts to fall for the guy herself! For
the first time in her life, she doesn’t have a clue.

CHAPTER 1
THE OCEAN
Our story begins on the ocean, with wind and rain and thunder and lightning
and waves. A hurricane roared and raged through the night. And in the middle
of the chaos, a cargo ship was sinking
down
down
down
to the ocean floor.
bobbing along an ocean current. Days passed. And then a smudge of green
appeared on the horizon. As the crates drifted closer, the soft green shapes
slowly sharpened into the hard edges of a wild, rocky island.
The first crate rode to shore on a tumbling, rumbling wave and then crashed
against the rocks with such force that the whole thing burst apart.
Now, reader, what I haven’t mentioned is that tightly packed inside each crate
was a brand-new robot. The cargo ship had been transporting hundreds of
them before it was swept up in the storm. Now only five robots were left.
Actually, only four were left, because when that first crate crashed against the
rocks, the robot inside shattered to pieces.
The same thing happened to the next crate. It crashed against the rocks, and
robot parts flew everywhere. Then it happened to the next crate. And the next.
Robot limbs and torsos were flung onto ledges. A robot head splashed into a
tide pool. A robot foot skittered into the waves.
The ship left hundreds of crates floating on the surface.
But as the hurricane thrashed and swirled and knocked them around, the
crates also began sinking into the depths. One after another, they were
swallowed up by the waves, until only five crates remained.
By morning the hurricane was gone. There were no clouds, no ships, no land
in sight. There was only calm water and clear skies and those five crates lazily
And then came the last crate. It followed the same path as the others, but
instead of crashing against the rocks, it sloshed against the remains of the
first four crates. Soon, more waves were heaving it up out of the water. It
soared through the air, spinning and glistening until it slammed down onto
a tall shelf of rock. The crate was cracked and crumpled, but the robot inside
was safe.
15
But this robot was different from
the others. It was still in one piece.
CHAPTER 2
THE OTTERS
The island’s northern shore had become something of a robot gravesite.
Strewn across the rocks were the broken bodies of four dead robots. They
sparkled in the early morning light. And their sparkles caught the attention of
some very curious creatures.
A gang of sea otters was romping through the shallows when one of them
noticed the sparkling objects. The otters all froze. They raised their noses to
the wind. But they smelled only the sea. So they cautiously crept over the
rocks to take a closer look.
And then they spotted something else.
Overlooking the gravesite was the one surviving crate. Its sides were scraped
and dented, and a wide gash ran across its top. The otters scampered up the
rocks and climbed onto the big box. Ten furry faces poked through the gash,
eager to see what was inside. What they saw was another brand-new robot.
But this robot was different from the others. It was still in one piece.
And it was surrounded by spongy packing foam.
The otters reached through the gash and tore at the foam. It was so soft
and squishy! They squeaked as they snatched at the fluffy stuff. Shreds of it
floated away on the sea breeze. And in all the excitement, one of their paws
accidentally slapped an important little button on the back of the robot’s head.
The gang slowly approached a robot torso. The biggest otter stuck out his paw,
swatted the heavy thing, and quickly jumped back. But nothing happened. So
they wriggled over to a robot hand. Another brave otter stuck out her paw and
flipped the hand over. It made a lovely clinking sound on the rocks, and the
otters squeaked with delight.
Click.
They spread out and played with robot arms and legs and feet. More hands
were flipped. One of the otters discovered a robot head in a tide pool, and they
all dove in and took turns rolling it along the bottom.
It took a while for the otters to realize that something was happening inside
the crate. But a moment later, they heard it. A low whirring sound. Everyone
stopped and stared. And then the robot opened her eyes.

Written from the heart. I wish I had written it.
The text is moving, the art perfect.

A rabbit and bird set off on an adventure. They choose a path, explore the unknown,
pretend and play and imagine—and finally return, wiser than before. Their journey

should keep curiosity and adventure in our pockets, that the sky is always above us, and
that all the paths we take will join to lead us home.
Perfect for anyone embarking on a new chapter in their lives, such as a the birth of
a baby, a graduation, or a new job, or for anyone needing comfort during a difficult time,
this tribute to all that is important in the world around us encourages readers to
live life to the fullest.

So much more than a “wake-up” story,
it’s a practice for kids and parents to greet the
morning with joy and embark on their daily
adventures with intention and confidence.

ADVANCE INTERVIEW
SARA PENNYPACKER
WAYLON! ONE
AWESOME THING
A NEW SERIES FEATURING CLEMENTINE’S
CLASSMATE & FRIEND
When Pennypacker was a kid, she thought her parents’ job was to keep life dull. She
was very much afraid her own children felt the same way about her. Now that she’s
grown up, she is the author of the acclaimed middle-grade novel Summer of the
Gypsy Moths; the award-winning, New York Times-bestselling Clementine chapter
book series; and the picture books Pierre in Love and Sparrow Girl. She divides her
time between Cape Cod and Florida.
You must have some mixed feelings about ending
the Clementine series—what was the hardest thing
about it coming to a close?
I had the same sense I often had when my own children
reached milestones of independence: bittersweet that I wasn’t
needed anymore. After seven books, I wasn’t needed anymore
to tell her stories. I love her, and I would have been happy
following her through fourth grade and beyond, but ending the
series was the right choice. Missing her was a strong reason
I’ve set my new series in her fourth grade classroom!
Did you always plan on writing a new series in
Clementine’s “world?”
No, it was a surprise to me. I knew I wanted to write another
series, and I knew it would be about a boy with an entirely
different personality and about the different challenges that
142
boys face, but I didn’t have any other details for years. It was
while writing the final Clementine that I decided—mainly
because I realized how much I would miss her and her world.
How did you choose Waylon for the new series?
Oh, he chose himself. He kept intriguing me throughout the
last half of the Clementine series—he was so intellectually
advanced in science, yet he was purely a nine-year-old
emotionally. That disparity in maturation rates is common in
kids his age, and it always touches me. And makes for built-in
story conflict.
What made you decide to make Waylon a
“science hero?”
Well, I’m kind of “sciencey” myself, although I’ve chosen an
arts life-track. Yesterday I learned that if you removed all

write about that!
Waylon! One Awesome Thing
has two endings, and the final
one leaves the story openended. Is there a narrative arc
to the trilogy? If so, what has it
been like to plot that out?
It is wonderful to see that
Waylon’s family members
are as interesting as
Clementine’s
were.
Clearly, you take pains
to make the adults as
distinct and memorable
as the kids. Why?
I decided in the Clementine
books to pay homage to the

couple of arcs that will run throughout the whole series, and I’m loving that.
It’s a relief to have that space luxury, and it’s satisfying to plant things that I
know will bear fruit in later books. Conversely, it’s hard to hold things back.
In the first book, for instance, characters make mistakes that I didn’t want
to correct until the second book—a year between books is a long time to be
itching to explain things.
