(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. In this third novel about Morgy, he goes to music camp to improve his trumpet skills. There Morgy despairs at his status of "promising beginner," deals with a bully, solves a mystery, and helps save the camp from being sold to a developer. As always, Morgy is an engaging character, and his trials and triumphs make for a rewarding read.

(1) 1-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. When third-grader Morgy moves from wide-open, laid-back California to small-town, close-knit Massachusetts, he obviously has some adjustments to make. Lewis captures the disoriented Morgy's bewilderment with one of the lightest touches ever encountered in a new-kid-in-town story. A superbly realized regional novel that is nonetheless universal: second- and third-graders from all over will enjoy watching Morgy make his move.
