INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Carman, Patrick

Mr. Gedrick and Me

(3) 4-6 Since Stanley's stay-at-home father died, his family (and their home) has been in shambles. The unexpected arrival of Mr. Gedrick, whose quirks recall those of Mary Poppins, inspires tidiness but also familial affection and fun. Although Stanley suspects magic is involved, Mr. Gedrick ultimately reveals a different kind of secret. With warmth and humor, Carman updates Travers's classic to the modern day.
