APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Milo is happy playing with his best friend Jay, until the new girl moves in across the street and Jay seems to be spending all o this time with her. The green monster that appears monopolizes Milo's time and makes him suspicious of Jay and Suzi.

Percival has crafted another gentle teaching book - an important lesson without being didactic. Milo's predicament is so common - schools should pick up all of his books to be read and discussed as needed. The children vary in appearance.
