Paws of the Periodic Table

Eleven-year-old science whiz Finley Wick doesn't fit in at school—but he does understand the rhythm of atoms, the fun of experiments, and the perfect 45° tilt that keeps his safety goggles from fogging. His only companion? Cooper, a goofy Golden Retriever with the curiosity of a marshmallow and an uncanny ability to nap in sunshine patches.But everything changes when a spill at the mysterious Aether-Gen Lab drenches Cooper in a top-secret compound called Element Zero. Suddenly, Cooper isn't just a dog—he's a walking scientific anomaly.From living metal fur to liquid morphing in puddles, Cooper's transformations defy every rule in the periodic table. And worse, greedy developer Sterling Vane wants to weaponize Cooper and bulldoze the Echo-Woods to get him.Now Finley must race against drones, corporate goons, and time itself to stabilize Cooper's ever-shifting chemistry and save their town.Perfect for fans of science adventures, loyal pets, and whimsical transformations, Paws of the Periodic Table is a warm, witty, and wildly imaginative journey about friendship, courage, and the real chemistry of the heart.
