Gr 2–5—Walter, otherwise known as Clint McCool to his friends, has a busy brain that's constantly on the go. Though Clint McCool is well intentioned, every idea results in unexpected trouble for him and his good friends Marco and ML. When he wears his six-button hat, which brings him special pretend powers, Clint McCool thinks he is unstoppable and finds himself in escapade after escapade. This time, it's on a sci-fi movie set, where he somehow manages to save the day but not before causing havoc on set by ruining some of the movie's props. Filled with outrageous situations and graphiclike illustrations, this chapter book is fast-paced and fun.
VERDICT A quick, easy offering; ideal for reluctant readers.
