Carlos isn't sure how he feels about the news that his cousin Bernardo
will be joining his class at Carver Elementary. But when Bernardo comes
to live with him temporarily, taking over Carlos's top bunk, his spot on
the school soccer team, and even his Papi's attention, Carlos knows he
isn't happy. Worse, Bernardo starts messing with Carlos's pet geckos!
Carlos tries to see past his cousin's annoying ways, but Bernardo sure
doesn't make it easy. Will Carlos--and his geckos--survive Bernardo's
visit? Can he keep the peace for his family's sake?
Emerging and newly independent readers are sure to recognize themselves
in this humorous school and family story.
