The Misadventures Of The Family Fletcher

The Misadventures Of The Family Fletcher by Dana Alison Levy, 260 pages


This is a fabulously fun story about the four Fletcher brothers, Sam, Jax, Eli, and Frog, who have all been adopted by their two dads, Dad and Papa.  The book’s chapters focus on the different boys so we get to see all of their stories.  Sam really wants to make the Elite Team in soccer and would be the youngest player ever if he’s picked this year but he’s also kind of interested in the school play.  But the play might interfere with soccer and the other kids might think it’s weird.  Jax is worried about being in the upper elementary school and he’s kind of having problems with his best friend, Henry.  Henry has changed since 3rd grade.  Eli is starting a new school completely.  He’s going to the Pinnacle School which is for kids who are really smart.  He’s excited because now he won’t be different anymore but when his new school isn’t exactly what he expected he doesn’t want to tell his family because he made such a fuss about wanting to go in the first place.  Frog is super excited to finally be starting Kindergarten where he and Flare, his invisible cheetah, plan to learn a lot.  But his family doesn’t completely believe it when he makes a new friend named Ladybug Li who has three sisters and two moms.  This is a great realistic story for kids that I would give to almost anyone.
