In a weekend full of trauma and misunderstanding, Dan meets his new stepfamily when his father gets remarried. Petersen's breezy, exaggerated style brings out the humor and absurdity in even the most difficult moments of blending a family.This is a short, cheery novel for readers just graduating from Suzy Kline's classroom dramas. The first-person narrative is illustrated with black-and-white drawings.
