This Mark Twain nominee is about Georges who has moved to an apartment since his father lost his job and their house. His mom is always at "work" and he is bullied at school. How will he ever get through this year?
He meets a boy in his apartment building who runs a "spy club". through his relationship with Safer and his sister Candy, Georges eventually resolves his problems; even the state of denial he has been living in about his mother.
It is an okay book, but not great. On the cd, the narrator says Georges with a hard "G" which is not how to pronounce his name so I'm not sure the author really knew that either. He wouldn't have had a problem with his name if he had actually used a French pronunciation. Of course, I'm sure that the kids would have found some way to pick on him.
