(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Ferrell learns of a dark family secret (a cannibalistic ancestor) after a new kid in town blackmails him. Ferrell and his best friend (and crush), Mary, slowly learn to accept their intersecting family histories with grace and humor. Two competitive sled races add suspense and excitement. Kids will probably be amused by the pun-filled first-person narration.
