(3) 4-6 At school, Nick worries about whether he'll succeed on the basketball team. At home, he must adjust to his new blended family, contending with problems both minor (his stepmother buys clove-scented shampoo) and major (his stepbrother Dwayne is a dork.) This mildly humorous story about sixth-grade angst features a narrator who gradually learns to look beyond his own self-absorption.
