I think every adult and child should read this book. It is so good for teaching about dealing with conflict and how characters respond. Translate that into real life! Blurb: It was the perfect summer. That is, until Jeremy Ross moved into the house down the street and became neighborhood enemy number one. Luckily Dad had a surefire way to get rid o...
