Boy, does Andy Russell have troubles! His gerbils escaped in the house, he’s late for school, and he’d planned to ask his parents if they can be his friend Tamika’s new foster family. But when Andy learns that his mother is pregnant, he knows he’ll have to do some really fancy footwork if his family is going to make room for Tamika.

Andy Russell is an irresistible fourth-grader who loves his pet gerbils (hated by Mom and Sis) and has nice friends, typical problems, and a kind heart. Things take a nosedive when his gerbils get loose, his mom announces that she's pregnant, and he learns that his best friend may have to change schools. Narrator Oliver Wyman gets down to business with fast and spirited descriptions, perfect kid and adult voices, and the exact tones of a 9-year-old's reasoning. When Tomika's parents are in a terrible accident, Andy wants her to live with his family. The give-and-take in the discussion of this major issue is well presented by both author and narrator. Kids are given an accurate glimpse of family life in this splendid story. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
