(3) 4-6 After his mother leaves, Zachary and his dad move to Connecticut. Zachary meets new neighbor Rachel Spinelli--"part tiny Wonder Woman and part big guard dog"--and her big brother, Teddy. Teddy's disability isn't specified, but his musical ability combines well with Zachary's interest in trumpet, so the three of them hang out. Zachary's relationships are well drawn, with sharp dialogue and funny touches.
