In this book, Norman Fishbein, who lives in Toronto, Ontario (an hour and a half drive from where I live) wins a Count-the-Doozy-Dots contest and gets a thousand dollars. He decides to spend the money on a well-needed family vacation to Miami Beach. They stay over at the Royal Palm Hotel, where they meet the Horvath sisters, Amy, Gloria, and Danielle. Norman's older brothers, Marcus and Larry, immediately see them as enemies, but Norman secretly befriends the youngest sister, Amy. Together, they form a bond between them and an old comedian said to be dead named Mort Ziff. But just as they become friends, the hotel owner, a millionaire named Herbert Spitzer, decides to fire Mort Ziff to be replaced with a pop group called the Centipedes, who copy the Beatles. Now Amy and Norman need to change Herbert Spitzer's mind about firing the comedian... and fast!

I love this book. It’s about a boy named Norman who has two older brothers that drive him CRAZY. When Norman guesses the right number of Doozy Dots in a contest at the mall, he decides to take his family on a vacation to Miami Beach. There, they meet the Horvath sisters. Norman’s older brothers instantly become enemies with the older two sisters. But, Norman secretly befriends the youngest daughter, Amy. They have to keep their friendship a secret because they’re worried that their siblings will hate them. But, when the once famous, now “old fashioned” comedian Mort Ziff loses his job at the hotel, they have to figure out to get their older siblings to work together and save his job. I would definitely recommend this book.

I really liked this book. After reading it, I wanted to go on another beach vacation AGAIN!

I loved this book! It tells the story of Norman and how he goes on a vacation with his prize money for winning a guessing contest. While on vacation, he meets the Horvath sisters, but secretly befriends one. I loved this book so much. I re-read it all the time, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone from 8 +.

I liked this book because of its humour and friendship. I recommend this book.
