(3) 1-3 Illustrated by James Stevenson. Brother and sister Jake (the Pain) and Abigail (the Great One) narrate their adventures in alternating chapters. A beach vacation, a mall outing, and other happenings are all fodder for seven mostly freestanding stories with mild humor, suspense, misunderstandings, and acceptance; Fluzzy the cat gets the last word on the family's activities. Stevenson's loose-line drawings echo the light tone.
