The rest of Alexander's family is moving a thousand miles away, but there's NO way Alexander is going to leave his best friend, his favorite babysitter, or all the places and people he's known all his life.
Even if he has to live in a tree house or a tent or a cave! Alexander is not going to leave his best friend Paul.
Or Rachel, the best babysitter in the world.
Or the Baldwins, who have a terrific dog named Swoozie.
Or Mr.
and Mrs.
Oberdorfer, who always give great treats on Halloween.
Who cares if his father has a new job a thousand miles away? Alexander is not -- Do you hear him? He Means it -- going to move.
Alexander's back, facing another of childhood's trials and tribulations with Judith Viorst's trademark humor and keen sense of what's important to kids.
