Summary

Summary

A Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book

A Raleigh News & Observer Best Book of the Year

From acclaimed author Linda Urban comes a younger middle-grade novel about the weekend adventures of a boy and his dad, who each see “home” in new ways as they adjust to changes in their family.

Max and his dad love their weekends together. Weekends mean:

  • pancakes

  • pizza

  • spy games

  • dog walking

  • school projects

  • surprising neighbors

Every weekend presents an adventure as Max gets to know his dad’s new neighborhood—and learns some new ways of thinking about home.

Acclaimed author Linda Urban deftly portrays a third-grader’s inner world during a time of transition in this sweet and funny story that bridges the early reader and middle grade novel.

  • Road Trip with Max and His Mom

  • A Crooked Kind of Perfect

  • Milo Speck, Accidental Agent

  • The Center of Everything
