Jack Adrift: Fourth Grade without a Clue

197 pp. | Farrar | August, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-374-39987-5 $$16.00
(2) 4-6 In this prequel to the four books about Jack Henry and his tragicomic, itinerant family, young Jack's honest, dryly humorous first-person narration chronicles his fourth-grade year. The novel opens with the family's move from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and with Jack's worries about making friends. Jack's weird predicaments are both familiar and fantastic; laugh-out-loud scenes have a tendency to sneak up on you.
