Illustrated by
Trevor Spencer.
Teddy's summer plans are sidelined when his stay-at-home mom gets a job, strict Great-aunt Ursula moves in, and his neighbor's pet pigeons are threatened with eviction. With the help of his admiring little brother, Teddy must rally the community to save the beleaguered birds. Energetic black-and-white spot art enhances this garden-variety blend of wacky humor, heartfelt family dynamics, and civic involvement.
