Fifth grade is a big year for Adam in this sequel to A Llama in the Family. He includes his pet llamas in the celebration at the library; he becomes friends with Alana, a new girl in his class; and when his mother goes into labor unexpectedly, he and Alana assist with the delivery. A brief episode in which Adam mistakenly thinks Alana has been killed in an accident seems out of place, but otherwise, the fast-paced story is told with humor.
