DEWEY
The problem solver gets a form.
Clara decides Dewey cannot think clearly about Alaska until he stops acting like the exception to his own office procedures.
DEWEY'S FILE →CLARA'S INCIDENT LOG • BOOK 1
Things went sideways.
A problem-solving office sounds orderly until the dentist finds an actual tooth problem, the dog turns out to be enormous, the surveillance car has four pillows on the driver's seat, and Dewey becomes his own client.
COLIN
Undercover dentistry becomes dentistry.
Colin's overdue checkup is supposed to be cover. Dr. Bernard discovers a tooth that actually needs extraction.
COLIN'S FILE →SERAPHINA
Career Day, allegedly.
Seraphina enters the dental office as a student interviewer and then has to improvise when a walk-in emergency wrecks the original plan.
SERAPHINA'S FILE →CLARA
Four pillows and a frog dashboard.
Clara drives field surveillance in a Buick station wagon while perched high enough to see over the wheel.
CLARA'S FILE →WOLFIE
Recorder carrier.
Wolfie becomes part of the communications system and later joins Clara when the adult portion of Dewey's family case needs handling.
WOLFIE'S FILE →KAREN
Please retain your eyebrows.
Dewey proposes a science experiment comparing how quickly several flammable liquids burn. His mother has concerns.
KAREN'S FILE →DON
The childhood diary comes back.
Don's old habit of grading his days and his buried dream of teaching math become crucial evidence in Dewey's personal case.
DON'S FILE →SERAPHINA
Peewee is gigantic.
A huge friendly mastiff appears and Dewey initially assumes he is lost. He proposes found-dog signs before learning Peewee belongs to Seraphina.
OPEN DOG-ADJACENT FILE →CASE LOGIC
The funny part and the thinking part are usually the same part.
Dewey's methods—observation, cover stories, pattern recognition, interviews, forms, note-passing, delegated surveillance—keep colliding with ordinary kid life. That collision is where many of the misadventures come from.
MORE BOXES COMING
This incident log currently goes deepest on Book 1.
Books 2 and 3 have source PDFs in the archive but do not yet have the same completed world-fact extraction. As those are structured, this page can expand into teacher disasters, school-policy chaos, sibling cases, technology trouble, family experiments, and cross-book running jokes.
