From the author of the National Book Award nominee A TANGLE OF KNOTS comes an inspiring novel about figuring out who you are and doing what you love. Albie has never been the smartest kid in his class. He has never been the tallest. Or the best at gym. Or the greatest artist. Or the most musical. In fact, Albie has a long list of the things hes not very good at. But then Albie gets a new babysitter, Calista, who helps him figure out all of the things he is good at and how he can take pride in himself. A perfect companion to Lisa Graffs National Book Award-nominated A Tangle of Knots, this novel explores a similar theme in a realistic contemporary world where kids will easily be able to relate their own struggles to Albies. Great for fans of Rebecca Steads Liar and Spy, RJ Palacios Wonder and Cynthia Lords Rules. Praise for Lisa Graffs novels Tangle of Knots (nominated for a National Book Award) * Combining the literary sensibility of E. B. White with the insouciance of Louis Sachar, Graff has written a tangle that should satisfy readers for years to come.--Booklist, starred review Double Dog Dare Graffs...story is lighthearted and humorous, but honestly addresses the emotions associated with divorce. Her characters voices, interactions, and hangups are relatable, as they battle each other and adjust to their families reconfigurations.--Publishers Weekly
