CASE FILE #01 • PARENT DIVISION
Dewey Fairchild, Parent Problem Solver
Dewey Fairchild is great at handling parents. From overprotective moms to embarrassing public habits, he investigates the problem, gathers evidence, and comes up with a plan. But the first book eventually gives Dewey a challenge he never expected: his own parents.
Clara recommends checking more than one shelf. Books have a habit of wandering between formats and sellers.

Book 1 has a classroom life—and a screen-development life.
Lorri Horn created a standards-aligned curriculum guide around Parent Problem Solver, with discussion, writing, vocabulary, literary analysis, research, and problem-solving activities. The book also became the foundation for television-development material that preserves the attic office, air-duct entrance, Clara, Wolfie, and Dewey's case-of-the-week structure.
