Publisher Description: Family fun takes center stage in three-time Newbery Honor winner Gary Paulsen's hilarious novel for middle-school boys. Kevin Spencer is the glue that holds his family together. When his wacky relatives decide to have a double wedding in the backyard, Kevin takes charge. Planning two weddings is a great way to impress his girlfriend, Tina Zabinski, the Most Beautiful and Best-Smelling Girl in the World. "Kevin seems to truly have his heart in the right place as he tries to bring order to the disparate parts of his family] and restore some missing familial affection."--Kirkus Reviews "The Spencers may not be a conventionally perfect family, but by the end of the novel it is clear that, despite their oddball antics, they are a loving one. Fans of the series and new readers will enjoy this offering."--School Library Journal " A] goofy, rollicking ride."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books |
