SLOB-Potter

Owen Birnbaum is a bully-magnet. Kids make rude noises and snide comments every time he walks by. To make matters even worse his PE teacher loves to find ways to humiliate him. It could be because Owen is the fattest kid in school, he also happens to be one of the brightest. He is trying to do something about his weight but the one thing he won't give up are his favorite cookies at lunch. Someone has started stealing them right out of his lunch bag each day. Owen can't catch a break. Owen's family suffered a tragedy two years ago and it still haunts him. He is working on an invention that he hopes will help him get some closure and allow him to move on. Now, he has a mystery to solve as well.
