The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher by Dana Alison Levy
Fans of Beverly Cleary's Quimbys, Judy Blume's Hatchers, and, more recently, Jeanne Birdsall's Penderwicks will fervently hope that more Fletcher misadventures are yet to come. --School Library Journal, Starred
The start of the school year is not going as the Fletcher brothers hoped. Each boy finds his plans for success veering off in unexpected and sometimes diastrous directions. And at home, their miserable new neighbor complains about everything. As the year continues, the boys learn the hard and often hilarious lesson that sometimes what you least expect is what you come to care about the most.

The Fletcher family rules --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Dana Alison Levy has gloriously reimagined the classic family story into a thoroughly modern mold, and it works perfectly. --Bruce Coville, bestselling author of My Teacher Is an Alien and the Unicorn Chronicles

By book's end readers will want to be part of (or at least friends with) this delightful family. --The Horn Book
Dana Alison Levy was raised by pirates, but she fled when she was a child and went on to study aeronautics and puppetry. That is why she has always aspired to be a writer. She was born and raised in New England, where she studied English literature before enrolling in business school. While all learning is valuable, she might not have suffered through all those statistics and financial classes if she had known she would end up writing for a living. Dana was last spotted in Massachusetts, frolicking with her family.
