(2) YA After Ted's parents die in a car crash, he's placed in a foster home with a drill-sergeant father, a nut-case mother, and two foster brothers. Ted relates better to animals than people, and animals, in turn, speak freely to him. However, animal speech leaves Ted as he gradually forges his first real friendships. Koertge's young characters are interesting and three-dimensional.
