SUMMARY
Jason and Edward Fraser are back for five new hilarious stories. In the Fraser's' world, everyday life becomes an adventure as the boys find themselves in various predicaments involving wigs, girls, haunted houses, red sweaters, and pet rats.

REVIEWS
*What makes these stories so inviting and funny is Cutler's exceptional talent for describing events from the boy's rather literal point of view…The author's wonderful sense of timing and the cadence and symmetry of her language make this a natural title for reading aloud.
