      About the Author

      Back Cover

      I doodle when I write.

      So here’s the story

      with all my doodles.

      -Danny

      I am the subject of Calvin Waffle’s experiment.

      Last week at school he followed me everywhere. He didn’t stay close, but he was there. Lurking. He made a list of everyone who walked up to me, everyone who spoke to me. He listed their names and how long we talked.

      What’s with all the names and numbers? I asked.

      I need them for my experiment, Calvin told me. They’re statistics, the backbone of science.

      No, they’re not, I thought. The backbones of science are test tubes and microscopes and jars of chemicals, stinky chemicals that make your hands turn colors.

      I know what statistics are. They’re the backbone of sports. I know baseball batting averages, football passing and rushing records, and basketball shooting percentages.

      Here’s a statistic: My new friend Calvin Waffle is 100% weird.

      All last week he followed me and lurked. Now it’s Monday. We’re on our way to school and he has that list. It’s in his shirt pocket. It’s folded and sticking up a bit like a fancy handkerchief.

      Are you going to keep watching who talks to me?

      Calvin shakes his head way up and down. He’s nodding, telling me he’ll keep watching.

      Last week was the control, he says. This week is the experiment.

      I haven’t known Calvin very long. The first time we talked was two weeks ago. It was after school. I was walking home when he called to me.

      Hey. You’re in my class.

      I turned and saw him walking toward me.

      I’m Calvin Waffle, he said.

      I knew that. I was there when our teacher Mrs. Cakel introduced him to our class.

      I told him my name. I’m Danny Cohen.

      Now we walk together to school and back. That’s because he lives on my block. He moved here with his mom. I don’t know about his father. I didn’t ask. I never ask those kinds of questions. I’m not a nosy news reporter. I’m just a kid in the fourth grade. When I’m older, I’ll be a cartoonist.

      It’s Monday. We’re about to turn the corner to enter the school
