"Having divorced parents was bad enough, but then Charles' mother marries
Ben. Ben's two children move in, and Charles has to share his bedroom with
five-year-old Thomas. Charles' reflections on his situation, told in perceptive
contemporary language, are laced with humor and emotion. At times both funny
and touching, this sequel to "Don't Make Me Smile" paints a realistic
picture of life in a blended family."-- "School Library Journal." Reading
