Bookroo's summary

Charlie hears a buzz that sparks inventive ideas, but they often flop, like his non-flying feet. Overshadowed by his brother, he longs to succeed. When the Zigzag center hosts a Come as a Character Day, Charlie sees an opportunity to finally stand out. Will his latest creation bring him the recognition he craves, or will it backfire like the rest? Dive into Charlie's world of quirky inventions and discover if he can turn his dreams into reality.

From the publisher

When Charlie hears that special buzz in his head, he knows it means one thing: an idea for a new invention. But Charlie’s ideas tend to backfire–such as the flying feet that don’t really fly. If only Charlie could make his inventions work, people might think he’s as special as his older brother, Larry. Then the Zigzag afternoon center organizes a Come as a Character Day, and Charlie gets his chance to shine.
