It's a Deal, Dogboy

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Leo must now contend with his older sister Eleanor, who currently sports dyed black hair and black nail polish and calls him "Dogboy." This and other annoyances are relayed from an appropriately childlike perspective, and the heavier moments are leavened by lighter ones. Leo and his misadventures are lively and credible; fans of the series should find this a briskly engaging diversion.
