The Worst Kid Who Ever Lived on Eighth Avenue

48 pp. | Holiday | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1350-0

(3) K-3 The neighborhood children are sure that Leroy--the worst kid to ever grow up on their street--must be up to no good when he returns to his old home. They do some detective work and discover that Leroy is now a fire marshall and his suspicious activities are all legitimate. Illustrated with one or two drawings per spread, the book contains enough far-fetched elements of mystery and surprise to keep readers interested.
