(3) 4-6 Ambrose, an allergic misfit with an overprotective mother, is taken out of public school when bullies sneak a peanut into his sandwich. After becoming unlikely friends with his neighbor's son, a reformed ex-convict, and visiting the West Side Scrabble Club, his confidence soars. The smart chapter titles are creatively formed from Scrabble letters. It's a laugh-out-loud funny--and encouraging--story. Glos.
