Incontra i Fletcher. Il loro anno sarà pieno di nuove scuole, vecchi amici, un vicino burbero, puzzole affamate, piste di ghiaccio che perdono, recite scolastiche, gatti bagnati e storie spaventose raccontate al buio! C'è Sam, di dodici anni, che è principalmente interessato al calcio, al cibo e al suo telefono; Jax, di dieci anni, entusiasta per la quarta elementare e che pensa che il nuovo vicino sia insopportabile, e non solo a causa della puzzola; Eli, di dieci anni (ma più giovane di Jax), che è entusiasta di iniziare quest'anno alla Pinnacle School, dove tutti sono i più intelligenti; e Frog (non è il suo vero nome), di sei anni, che vuole che tutti in giardino riservino un posto per il suo ghepardo invisibile. Anche Papà e Papa. ATTENZIONE: Questo libro contiene vomito di gatto, pipì di tartaruga e alcuni compiti davvero fastidiosi.
Familie ist, was man draus machtChaos, Lärm und Wäscheberge sind bei den Fletchers an der Tagesordnung. Kein Wunder, bei vier adoptierten Jungs, von denen drei leidenschaftlich Fußball und Eishockey spielen. Ein aufregendes Schuljahr beginnt: Sam (12) entdeckt das Schultheater, aber kann er da als cooler Fußballer mitspielen? Jax (10) müsste für sein Projekt dringend den unfreundlichen Nachbarn interviewen, aber alle diplomatischen Bemühungen scheitern. Eli (10) hadert mit seiner neuen Eliteschule, während Frog (6) in der 1. Klasse gleich eine Freundin findet. Ob es diese Ladybird Li allerdings wirklich gibt, bezweifeln nicht nur Papa und Dad. Am Ende dieses turbulenten Jahres wissen alle sechs Fletchers mehr, vor allem, was für eine großartige Familie sie sind!
