"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 level: 4.8.
