3.0

 Not my favorite Bobby Owen entry mostly because the (missing) Helen is not in the least believable and she takes up way too much print. I also missed Olive's insight and imagine Bobby did as well. On the plus side, Wayling is an interesting character, though unbelievable in his own way. Bobby's temporary boss, Seers, and Bobby's handling of him, added a humane touch.
