The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher

This heartwarming middle-grade novel follows the Fletcher family—two dads, Dad and Papa, and their four adopted, rambunctious sons—through a hectic, hilarious school year full of sports tryouts, art projects, pets, and new friendships. The book features a same-sex parent household and an interracial, multicultural family, celebrating a mix of religious traditions including Jewish, Christian, and Hindu holidays throughout the year. Along the way, the boys learn valuable lessons about friendship, patience, and empathy as they try (and often fail) to win over their grumpy, standoffish new neighbor. With warmth and humor, the story emphasizes strong family bonds, individuality, and the idea that families who look different can still be full of love and good values.
