(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Dan Murphy. After living in several foster homes, Andy is placed for adoption with Jeff and Laurie Sizeracy. The twelve-year-old narrator, who has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, immediately begins testing the limits of his new guardians by arguing, stealing, and making false claims of molestation. Though Andy's narrative is long-winded and overly detailed, his bad behavior is believably portrayed.
