A boy is uprooted from all that he knows and sets off in search of himself, in this brilliant picture book by the author of The Hello, Goodbye Window.
No one ever asked the boy about moving to a new house. His folks just told him it would happen and he'd love his new home.
"That's what they always said when they knew he wouldn't love something," the boy tells himself.
The boy is certain he'll never feel at home in the new neighborhood and what's worse, he doesn't have any friends waiting for him.
Feeling very glum, he shuffles off for a walk from his new house and a block later, stops in his tracks, cups his hands around his mouth and yells, "NEVILLE!"
