I just started this book and I'm hooked! It opens with a teenage boy 'tagging' (graffiti) an unusual location in New York City. I won't give it away! He has mountain climbing experience and is off on a great adventure with his father. I can't wait to find out what happens!

This sequel to The Penderwicks is just as entertaining as the first one and is a faster book to read.  If you read this book you'll enjoy figuring out the mystery of "Bug Man" and the predicament the sisters are in when they switch homework assignments.

Just before school starts Russell's teacher dies.  I love the witty dialogue and wry tone of this book even though the opening event is serious.

I loved this story about twins deciding to be only one person at a new school. They face many challenges in keeping their secret while along the way they get the experience of being an only child. We'll get this book this year in the library!

I have read all of the Gregor books, and this one came out a few years ago, but I'm enjoying this one as an audio book.  I like the details the author uses to describe Gregor's adventure and his quest.  This is a great book to read in a week or two and it's too long.
