Old Mac - Now You See Him, Now You Don't

 

Old Mac Waverly is a carefree, somewhat absent-minded, science-obsessed inventor. He has an uncanny knack for putting himself in harm’s way whenever he plunges into creative mode.  The people of his hometown of Sunflower, in order to prevent Old Mac from potential danger, have set up a scheduled system to keep an eye on him – the Old Mac Watch.  When this most beloved citizen disappears, twelve-year-old Ben Lewis and his deputy-sheriff father lead the baffling, week-long search to find him.  For Ben, this offers an opportunity to spend precious time bonding with his father.  In the process of investigating Old Mac’s disappearance, Ben learns some valuable lessons about responsibility, friendship, and respect.

Old Mac - Blue Streak

​

Old Mac, brilliant inventor extraordinaire, often makes life “interesting” for the inhabitants of his hometown of Sunflower. Solving problems that arise in his community takes priority over his work on an experiment or invention. In this story, Old Mac is diverted from his “blue goo” experiments and becomes involved with helping to solve a dilemma for his neighbor, Miss Penderson. Her prize roses have undergone a change that plagues her. With the help of the Sprague girls, Sarah and Lucy, Old Mac gradually begins to realize what is actually causing Miss Penderson’s predicament. Will he be able to find a solution before Miss Penderson has a breakdown?
