Description

"Jeremiah just wants a normal summer with his dad, but it's clear that isn't happening. His dad just moved to an apartment near downtown Minneapolis to live with his new boyfriend, Michael. Michael wears shorts too short, serves weird organic foods, and is constantly nagging Jeremiah to watch out for potholes and to stay hydrated. Worst of all Michael rides the Uni-cycle. Okay, it's a bicycle decorated to look like a unicorn! This is going to be a long summer!"--

The main character of this book had to deal with a lot of changes in his life—still dealing with his parents' divorce and living in a different city over the summers, now he has to make new friends, handle a grumpy new neighbor, find things to do while his dad is at work, and somehow deal with his dad's extremely embarrassing boyfriend. All of this is tackled with care, appropriately for the intended age group, and kept interesting, without dumbing anything down.
