This sequel to What Happened on Fox Street starts with the family's move from its idyllic cul-de-sac followed by Mr. Wren's woeful attempts to fix up the restaurant they've purchased. Springstubb's lively prose and unique combination of mundaneness and melodrama make her characters believable and create an engaging story that challenges readers to consider their own world as carefully as Mo does.
