Award-winning toy maker Tim Kehoe-creator of the world's first colored bubbles-pens a fun-filled tale about a brilliant young inventor. When Vincent Shadow moves from New York to Minnesota, he is forced to leave behind most of the toys he created in his lab. Worse yet, he no longer experiences the visions that have always given him ideas. Down in the dumps, Vincent catches a break when he meets toy creator Howard G. Whiz, who is sponsoring an invention contest. "This is a solid, whimsically illustrated writing debut from a real-life toy inventor. It begs for a quick follow-up."-School Library Journal
