Illustrated by
Guy Francis.
Mason is an only child who likes his room clean, his socks brown, and his food plain. His parents have other ideas about what's good for him, and he's nudged further out of the box by his enthusiastic best friend, Brody. The stories' conflicts involve bullies, art projects, choir practice, and hurt feelings. Both books are entertaining, if a little bland. Review covers these titles: Mason Dixon: Fourth-Grade Disasters and Mason Dixon: Pet Disasters.
