Book of the Week
The Original Freddie Ackerman
By Hadley Irwin
Trevor Frederick Ackerman is lost in a sea of humanity. His mom seems to love to get married and she has done it again. The current father, Charlie, is number three, and Trevor isn’t real sure about how this one is going to turn out. Charlie has so many step-… moms, dads, brothers, and sisters that it is hard to keep track of them.
Charlie and Trevor’s mom are going away for the summer and Trevor has to go stay with one of his extended families’, But who? It turns out that he will be flying off to Maine to stay with two of his great aunts on a little island called Blue Isle. Trevor is not too enthused about spending the summer with two old ladies, and it gets even worse when he realizes that the only form of entertainment they have is books. There is not a television to be found in their house. It doesn’t take long for Trevor to realize that he is going to have to make some money to buy a ticket off this island if he is going to have any fun this summer.
We have a great selection of fiction and non-fiction books for teens, but we want to make it better. You can help. If you are in grades 7-12 sign up to be part of our...
