Cameron is so distracted by gaming that the fire department has to bash in his front door to stop the smoke billowing from the oven. Kids will also connect with the characters in Frank Viva’s Sea Change, in which Eliot’s mother ships him off for a summer with strange relatives at the very edge of the world: a fishing village in a remote part of Nova Scotia. There are lessons underlying each story—the importance of connecting with family, the perils of focusing on one thing to the exclusion of all else—but there’s also a whole lot of mischief and fun.
Suitable for Grades 4-7
