Nine-year-old Josh finds it impossible to get along with his rambunctious eight-year-old stepbrother Jake, until an impending change in their family unites them on a common front
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 3-5-- A witty, delightful book takes the subject of stepbrother relations and packs it with excitement and feeling. Joshua narrates the story of the dreaded visit of energetic Jake. He is a prankster--a Jack Nicholson of the kid world--who always has a water gun, a trap, or bugs. When Joshua's mother says she is expecting a baby, both boys discover they have something in common, and the beginning of a friendship unfolds. As did Blume in her "Fudge" books (Dutton) and Cameron in her "Julian" series (Random), Wittman brings two real boys to her story. Once readers meet them, they'll be anxious for their return. Accessible reading, the book should be great for reluctant readers. With its action-filled line drawings, this one's a must. --Susannah Price, Boise Public Library, ID
