The Thing about Georgie

220 pp. | HarperCollins/Geringer | February, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-087589-3 $15.99 | Library ISBN 978-0-06-087590-9 $16.89
(2) 4-6 The novel introduces its main character by having readers touch their left ears with their right hands, something Georgie cannot do because he is a dwarf. What could have been heavy-handed becomes a way for readers to empathize with Georgie as he faces sibling rivalry and a falling-out with a friend. Graff has created a likable, realistic fourth grader.
