Whole Lot of Wayne — David McRobbie

Wayne has a vivid imagination, an optimistic approach to life, and a best friend named Squocka. On the first day of school, he gets a "T" for troublemaker marked next to his name because bully Kevin Merry tricks him into accepting the blame for Kevin's mess. That "T" haunts Wayne for the rest of his life. His adventures -- with Kevin, Squocka, Fat Cat, and Violet Pridmore -- are told in this collection of 25 humorous stories. Delightfully familiar, Wayne offers an entertaining snapshot of school and family told through the eyes of a preadolescent boy.
