Ethan Marcus Makes His Mark

(3) 4-6 The sequel to Ethan Marcus Stands Up finds seventh-grade siblings Ethan and Erin attending an elite technology camp during a school break. Perfectionist Erin and laidback Ethan clash repeatedly as they work on dueling projects until they finally realize that their respective talents complement each other. Strong characterization and multiple narrators heighten the suspense, and the lesson about avoiding snap judgments is both subtle and effective.
