(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matte Stephens. Martin and his change-averse neighbors are challenged when Mr. Flux (modeled on George Maciunas, founder of the 1960s avant-garde Fluxus art movement) hits town. In this revelatory tale, Flux is a Mary Poppins–esque eccentric do-gooder who's met with skepticism but mourned upon his departure. The gouache illustrations embody the spirit of a movement that "didn't take art or life too seriously."
