The Stranger Next Door

The Stranger Next Door

By Logan W.
          When a new neighbor moves next door, Alex’s life gets a little harder. 12-year-old Rocky and his family have to move due to an “unknown” reason.  Alex tries to make Rocky feel at home, welcoming him to shoot hoops or play with toys but almost all the time Rocky ignores both Alex and his little brother, Benjie.  Rocky’s first day at school turns out bad and bullies harass him.  Afterwards, a life-changing disaster happens, and who is to blame?
          The Stranger Next Door is an amazing book written by an author from Washington and by Pete the Cat, who shows up in the book too. The book has a great story line mixed with a little bit of mystery, action, and “red, white and blue monster monkeys.”
          The book can be found at the school and Federal Way libraries and is for ages 9-13. The book is written by Peg Kehret and Pete the Cat.
