"Fans of Clementine and Ramona have a reason to rejoice: there's a new kid on the block ... Bighearted, hilarious, and tender." -Katherine Applegate, Newbery medalist Max and his dad love their weekends together. Weekends mean pancakes, pizza, spy games, dog-walking, school projects, and surprising neighbors! Every weekend presents a small 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 illustrated story that bridges the early reader and middle-grade novel. "Urban's subtle and perceptive take on divorce will resonate with children facing similar predicaments as she blends Max's worries and 'someone-sitting-on-his-chest' feelings with a vivid imagination and good intentions that take father and son on some very entertaining adventures-with future ones planned." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Urban excels at credibly presenting this situation from Max's third-grade point of view . . . Urban's writing is both crisply specific (a basset hound 'sniffed as she walked through puddles, dragging her ears like flat-bottomed boats') and simple enough to be accessible." - The Bulletin (starred review) "A sweet, empathetic look at a common situation." - Kirkus Reviews "Urban's touch is light throughout ... a story just right for budding chapter-book readers." - The Horn Book "The cast of characters grows throughout, but at the heart of the story is Max's warm, easygoing relationship with his father." - Booklist
