A Best Middle-Grade Book of 2017 by Kirkus Reviews

"[Dewey's] string of triumphs will have readers cheering him on, rolling in the aisles, and wishing they could line up for consultations." - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

Dewey Fairchild isn't just good with parents, he's great with them. He's so good at handling parents that he's built a thriving business out of it. He even has an assistant, Clara. A great alibi and an even better baker. Dewey settles the most troublesome of cases, from an overprotective mom who won't let her child go to class on her own, to a dad who can't stop picking his nose any chance he gets!

Dewey has no problem handling other people's parents, but when he overhears his parents' conversation, he discovers a challenge he never expected. Dewey can solve any problem parents may cause, but what will he do when the parents who are causing problems are his own?

About the Author
Lorri Horn, born and raised in California, has been working with kids all her life. She got her first babysitting job when she was nine years old, became a camp counselor, and went on to be a teacher. Its true she did eat all of the pickles and popsicles on her first babysitting gig, but she did manage to feed that kid a cheese and pickle sandwich before polishing off the rest of the jar off herself. No one complained. Evidently, she had a knack with kids. Lorri spent a few years studying cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkeys) and thought shed be a famous biological anthropologist. But it turns out you have to rough it and camp to do that kind of job, and Lorris more of a pillow-top mattress and no bug-repellant kind of gal. Plus, while it was fascinating to study and observe our little non-human primate brothers and sisters lip-smacking to communicate things like Oh, gee, Im sorry, is that your branch?, Lorri
