A good book! It tells a lot about a kid going through hard times. His grandpa told good stories. It was okay to read!

Reuven ("Mr. Lister") has an excellent memory, dislikes change of any kind, and feels better when he follows the lists that his favorite adult, Mr. Bookman the librarian, helped him to write. This is a terrific story of friendship--with other kids and with caring adults who understand you. One of the things I love most about the book is that the author describes Reuven's talents and problems so well but never gives him a medical label.

Reuven has a new teacher and his friend moved away. A new kid comes to his school and while learning about family in school, they discover they have the same last name! This book talks about what happens to him.

I loved this book. I loved all the beautiful storytelling in it. Very interesting ending, though!

a very good book. it is the best. my first book.i'm glad I picked it
