3.0
I received this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Jordie gets a new neighbor and the adventures begin. Her neighbor is a scientist who conducts experiments in her basement, and also owns a dog! Jordie's neighbor has found ways to transport objects and uses the dog Baxter to find them. It is all fun, until one day Jordie's neighbor disappears and it is up her, her brother, and Baxter to find their neighbor.
Perfect for those who liked the 13th goldfish. This is an adventure that many readers can connect to.

This will make a great third grade read aloud! Loved the science fiction aspect and the narrator was lovable.

This book is seriously adorable. But it's more than just quirky and charming---it's full of science. And it makes science both fun and accessible, which I wouldn't have believed when I was in the target audience. :)
I love Jordie and the way that she develops self-confidence and empathy throughout the course of the story. She's also determined to get the things she wants and is excellent at coming up with ways to get them. (Most notably Baxter, the world's coolest dog.)
This story is a complete delight and I believe pretty much any middlegrade reader would adore it the way I do. There's something in it for everyone.
