(4) 4-6 After Teddy's younger brother Bobby offends the school bully, the Chinese-American brothers must find a way to avoid retribution from their nemesis. With the help of some cookies made by the friendly neighborhood entomologist, the boys face down "Arnie-zilla." Despite a somewhat heavy-handed denouement and the writing's TV-sitcom-like quality, readers will be drawn in by the conflict and the story's humor.
