Now that Spider is in fifth grade, it's getting harder to remain friends with his next-door neighbor, Trey. Trey does weird things like hum under his breath and kick the basketball, and Spider's new friends won't tolerate him. Neither Trey nor Spider has a compelling voice, but Preller provides a welcome perspective on a child on the less severe end of the autism spectrum.
