Money. That’s what Melonhead and his best friend, Sam, need. Due to a “situation,” the boys have to pay for something they accidentally ruined. Neither of them receives an allowance, so they create the We-Fix-It Company. When jobs start pouring in, the boys feel like they have all the answers. But they soon run into a problem too big for just the two of them to handle. Luckily, their friends offer to help. With teamwork and the courage to dream big, the kids surprise even themselves and deliver amazing results.

GILLIAN JOHNSON is the illustrator of all Melonhead books to date. She lives in Oxford, England, with her husband and their two sons.
Gr 3–6—Adam Melon, aka Melonhead, and his best friend, Sam, inadvertently discover a great way to remove tarnish off silver while creating "destructionator" drinks for each other. Unfortunately, in the process, Adam's mom catches them, slips on the pizza sauce they left all over the floor, and dents her antique teapot heirloom. Now Adam and Sam must find a way to earn enough money to repair it. Trying their hand at being fix-it guys, the duo take on odd jobs, to varying degrees of success. Will Adam and Sam earn enough money to fix mom's teapot? Kelly has done it again; the characters are funny, endearing, and capture the essence of boyhood extremely well. A few unforeseen twists and turns will keep readers on their toes. A must-have for any library collection.—Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT
