Jack Strong Takes a Stand

228 pp. | Roaring Brook | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-836-1 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Melissa Mendes. Tired of being overscheduled with everything from baseball to karate to cello, Jack decides to take a stand--or, rather, a seat on the couch--refusing to move until his parents relent. His protest soon draws media attention and divides his family and community. Many kids will relate to Jack's well-developed frustrations, and Mendes's simple line drawings capture the squabble humorously.
