(3) 4-6 When twelve-year-old Dexter, who lives with his grandmother in The Pines, a retirement community, has to attend school for the first time, he doesn’t fit in: he dresses and acts like a senior citizen. Then a misunderstanding results in his suspension; the classmates who initially brushed him off now rally around him, bonding with The Pines’s residents as well. Told from multiple perspectives, this story features plenty of humor; heartwarming intergenerational friendships; and an appealing and humble protagonist.
