Bookroo's summary

Charlie, a young inventor, faces a ban on his creations after his gadgets misfire. With the invention fair looming, he must find a way to craft something extraordinary. Can Charlie, with the help of his friends and fellow inventor Mr. Redfern, overcome the odds and showcase his ingenuity? Discover the challenges and surprises that await in this tale of creativity and friendship.

From the publisher

Charlie has lots of ideas. Need something to go sky high? Ah-ha! The zinger-winger! Need to launch a cheese popper into soup? The amazing popper-upper! But the zinger-winger zings more than wings and the popper-upper plops. Charlie isn’t allowed to invent for a week. Meanwhile, the afterschool invention fair is coming up. He needs time to make something special. Good thing he has his friends and Mr. Redfern, another inventor, to help him out.
