The Legendary Woofer-Tweeter Experiment

By Kari M Naglestad

The Legendary Woofer-Tweeter Experiment is my story about two unusually enterprising 11-year-old boys, their disparate dads, and a very affectionate dog named Woofer. Kit Quakenbush thinks PJ Purvy is just about the coolest kid he's ever known. PJ's lived all over the world, has seen and done tons of terrific stuff - and Kit would give almost anything to trade his own dull, boring existence for PJ's fascinating one. So when the two of them set out together to create a legendary science presentation, the most memorable their middle school has ever seen, Kit has great expectations. And, as it turns out, "memorable" is exactly what it becomes. . . . But not at all in the way they'd intended - or would have wanted. For kids in the middle-reader years, especially boys who would rather do just about anything besides sit down and read a "boring" book, exciting stories that tackle hard-to-discuss issues head-on are all too rare. Written from Kit's point of view, The Legendary Woofer-Tweeter Experiment looks at how shockingly different life experiences can be, even for people who seem outwardly similar; how at times the most seemingly respectable of fathers can traumatically overstep the bounds; how first impressions can sometimes hide far more sinister elements. And, in the end, how crucial the qualities of patience, compassion, respect, and loyalty truly are.
