About this listen
What if one small, fantastic event could transform a shy girl into a national celebrity?
For Laura McGonogle, a typical fourteen-year-old in a family of overachievers, it happened on a lonely road late at night. That was when she came face-to-face with a crippled wombat. A wombat 3000 miles from home. A wombat who couldn’t use his back legs.It was as if he appeared just for her.
Passionate to help the animal she names Whizzzer, she, with the help of her two friends, JW and Vaughn, invents a device that allows Whizzzer to walk again.
She calls it the Wombat-O-Matic. It is an invention, she believes, worthy of entering in her high school science competition.
But she has underestimated how revolutionary her Wombat-O-Matic is. Before the invention, and Whizzzer, can be shown publicly, Laura is unexpectedly catapulted into the national spotlight at a Nationwide Science Competition. Excited and nervous to show the world what she’s accomplished, she is wickedly sabotaged by a fellow student as he spreads misinformation and presents a disastrous demonstration of the Wombat-O-Matic which crushes Laura's dreams and questions Whizzzer's capabilities.
Distraught and alone, with her work now discredited, Laura must summon all her strength to defend herself, restore her reputation, and protect what she loves the most, Whizzzer and the Wombat-O-Matic.
Book 1 of the Whizzzer Chronicles is a tale filled with unforgettable characters, surprises, heart-warming support, triumph and tragedy and most of all, the strength of a young girl to prove her scientific prowess and become an inspiration to every girl struggling to forge her own way.
