Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Best-selling Judy Blume has made her reputation by writing books which show the world from a child’s point of view. She is skilful at catching how children see the world and how they make sense of it and deal with it. Tony’s story is an interesting one. Newly and unexpectedly wealthy, his family move into a smarter neighbourhood. While his parents are thrilled, Tony finds adjusting hard. In particular, he knows that Joel, the boy who lives next door, is not to be trusted despite the excellent manners he impresses Tony’s parents with. When Joel steps over the line, Tony has to make a brave choice. Money’s nice but however much you’ve got having good values and being true to yourself is far, far more important.
