Dewey Fairchild

Dewey Fairchild isn't just good with parents, he's great with them. He's so good at handling parents that he's built a thriving business out of it. He even has an assistant, Clara-a great alibi and an even better baker. Dewey settles the most troublesome of cases, from an overprotective mom who won't let her child go to class on her own, to a dad who can't stop picking his nose any chance he gets! Dewey has no problem handling other people's parents, but when he overhears his parents' conversation, he discovers a challenge he never expected. Dewey can solve any problem parents may cause, but what will he do when the parents who are causing problems are his own?

In this follow-up to Dewey Fairchild, Parent Problem Solver, our genius problem solver, Dewey, takes up the challenge of troublesome teachers after a client shows up desperate to pacify his teacher. It turns out that tons of kids have problem teachers, so he's soon up to his neck in cases-from classic cases of teachers who are so boring to bizarre cases like the teacher who leaves students scared of water-even water fountains. Meanwhile, Dewey's school starts limiting toilet paper use-to just one tiny square at a time!-and replaces Dewey's beloved vending machines with. . . a garden. That's no substitute for the delightful snacks Dewey lives for, so he and his best friends protest with a secret demonstration involving edible additions to school property. But detention may be the least of their problems when some argue their actions were vandalism. Will their demands for student involvement sway the administration, or will they be caught and punished with detention. . . or worse?

In this third book of the Dewey Fairchild series, young entrepreneur and problem-solver Dewey helps other kids face perhaps the toughest challenge yet: siblings. Whether it's a brother chasing his sister around with a fart in a jar, or kids coping with the over-the-top festivities for new babies-on-the-way, Dewey is always ready for a new challenge.
