My Life With the Walter Boys by Ali Novak

After her family is killed in a car accident, Jackie moves from New York City to rural Colorado to live with her mother's best friend and family.  It's complete culture shock made worse by the fact that there are 12 children in the Walter family -- all boys.


This is basically a love triangle story.  While there is a lot of grief over the loss of her family, most of Jackie's time is consumed with how to deal with the two brothers that want to date her. 

This was a novel written by a 15-year-old on Wattpad that eventually was published.

Charlie & Mouse by Laurel Snyder

Charlie and Mouse are two brothers having fun at a neighborhood party, trying to make some money, and going through their bedtime routine.

This easy reader is the winner of  2018 Theodor Geisel Medal for best beginning reader of the year.  It is a great for a child just starting to read chapter books.  While the book features two brothers, it's a good story for both boys and girls with its all inclusive neighborhood of friends.  Also, make sure to really look at the photos as background images add extra humor to the stories.
