Bookroo's summary

Third-grader Calvin's world is turned upside down when his friendly neighbors move away, only to be replaced by a school bully. As if that wasn't enough, the pressure mounts at the school science fair, where Calvin's project isn't going as planned. With his data failing to support his theory, Calvin must navigate these challenges and find a way to stand up for himself. Will he rise to the occasion or crumble under the pressure? Dive into this engaging tale of resilience and discovery, where every decision counts.

From the publisher

“Third grader Calvin is dealing with his next door neighbors moving away–and the school bully moving in. Meanwhile, competition at the school science fair is heating up, and Calvin must decide what to do when his data doesn’t prove his theory”–
