Gr 5-8–Schmidt’s extended family of memorable characters loses one but gains a few more in this masterful companion to The Wednesday Wars and Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy. It’s summer 1968, immediately after the end of Wednesday Wars, and Meryl Lee Kowalski (described as having auburn hair and freckles) is reeling from the shocking accidental death of Holling Hoodhood, the boy she’s loved since the third grade.
Gr 5-7–Matt feels he can handle anything sixth grade dishes out so long as he has his best friend, Eric. But when Eric learns his family is moving at the end of the school year, Matt’s world is rocked. The friends cook up one last adventure that will make them school legends—or get them expelled. Their plan? Sneak out on the last day of a school band trip to meet their favorite author at a nearby comics convention.
