Grade 1-3-In this addition to the series, Howe shows his keen understanding of the struggle children go through when learning to balance peer relationships with feelings of jealousy and anger. Rex, who has always felt like part of her best friend Pinky's family, is excited about going on their traditional pumpkin-picking weekend with Pinky's grandparents, his little sister, and his cousin Abby. However, Rex soon discovers that something is different this year. Abby refuses to talk to her, makes fun of her, and continually makes her feel left out. That night, someone smashes the jack-o'-lantern that Grandpa had carved. In the morning, the culprit is revealed, along with Rex's and Abby's feelings. Howe's realistic portrayal of Abby's exclusionary tactics and Rex's jealousy, coupled with Sweet's supportive watercolor paintings, make for a believable tale. The understanding grandparents set the stage for the children to resolve their conflicts and take another step toward maturity. This sensitive story is a must for early chapter-book collections and is perfect for all seasons. It will provide solace to readers as they struggle with the realities of growing up.
