INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Rising sixth grader Henry grapples with friendship troubles and responsibility during a summer at home with his stay-at-home dad and toddler brother. Henry's first-person narration and observations are engaging, although his personality is rather bland. Realistic dialogue and believable family relationships shine in a well-written story in which not very much happens.
