Illustrated by
Michael Chesworth.
When third-grader Morgy moves from wide-open, laid-back California to small-town, close-knit Massachusetts, he obviously has some adjustments to make. Lewis captures the disoriented Morgy's bewilderment with one of the lightest touches ever encountered in a new-kid-in-town story. A superbly realized regional novel that is nonetheless universal: second- and third-graders from all over will enjoy watching Morgy make his move.
