Family fun takes center stage in three-time Newbery Honor winner Gary Paulsen's hilarious novel for middle-school boys. Kevin Spencer is the glue that holds his family together. When his wacky relatives decide to have a double wedding in the backyard, Kevin takes charge. Planning two weddings is a great way to impress his girlfriend, Tina Zabinski, the Most Beautiful and Best-Smelling Girl in the World.
When it comes to telling funny stories about boys, no one surpasses Paulsen.--Booklist
[Paulsen is] one of the best-loved writers alive.--The New York Times Praise for Family Ties
Kevin seems to truly have his heart in the right place as he tries to bring order to the disparate parts [of his family] and restore some missing familial affection.--Kirkus Reviews The Spencers may not be a conventionally perfect family, but by the end of the novel it is clear that, despite their oddball antics, they are a loving one. Fans of the series and new readers will enjoy this offering.--School Library Journal [A] goofy, rollicking ride.--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
