Bruno for Real by Caroline Adderson

Where did you get that funny hat? Mom asked him. I swapped for it, Bruno told her. Dad looked proud. Did you? What did you swap? I swapped Mom. Mom put down her fork. Her face turned white. Don't worry, Bruno told her. I got you back. Dad said, Thank goodness! I like your mother. Me too, said Bruno. I like her so much I swapped my plastic teeth to get her back again. In this sequel to I, Bruno, seven-year-old Bruno is back and tackling problems with his trademark originality. He defeats hiccups. He skillfully avoids math. And thanks to his special flutter kick, he easily advances to the next level-in swimming and in life! Bruno is ready for any challenge as he learns all there is to know about being a boy.
