(2) 4-6 It's summer, and the adopted, racially diverse brothers of The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher head to Rock Island with their two dads. Finding out how to save the old lighthouse from demolition is the most prominent of several satisfying narratives in this episodic novel; a somber story line involving verbal assault by a racist real-estate investor leaves room for thought-provoking, timely discussion.
