Fun, funny school story with a family full of boys -- 2 dads, 4 adopted kids, a dog and a cat, all male. Nice mix of diversity in the family, clear respect and interest in cultural holidays for all the kids and in making their own family traditions that work for them. It's basically a gentle, wacky school story like the Penderwicks or the Quimbys, and the normalcy of day to day life is the attraction. There are challenges and mistakes and great times together. The family Fletcher is a great easy read with a lot of great lessons to be learned. It's interesting and humorous and keeps your attention. The characters are extremely relatable and lovable. The 4 boys all have very different personalities, but they still manage to get along and love each other through the various challenges they face throughout the year in which the story takes place. From an angry misunderstood neighbor, a Halloween party rained out, a new school, new school activities, soccer, and much more. I enjoyed this book, but it has a few flaws. First of all it oozed so much with political correctness, that it almost became stereotypical and over idealized. Secondly I missed a real plot. The reader just follows the family for a year. Third, the ending was too much like ¨and they lived happily ever after. And last, I don't know if children 7 to 10 years old understand the changing of the point of view in each chapter. That said the pace of the book is excellent, it will hold a child's attention. The events in the book are recognizable and humorous. The author created a cheerful and safe setting for her characters, which comforts children. I have given it three stars, because I think the pros and cons kind of even each other out.
While “The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher” seems like the perfect book for children with two fathers or mothers, Levy’s underlying message has broad appeal: No matter who your parents are, or what their sex, no matter what you look like or whether or not you were adopted, your family, and everyone else’s, is absolutely crazy. And that’s just as it should be. Pertany a aquestes sèriesPremisDistincionsLlistes notables

Levy's book also provides readers a wonderful introduction to the diversity they'll meet in their schools and neighborhoods -- diversity of religions, of races, of personalities, of family situations, and more. Everyone should be able to find someone to relate to among the Family Fletcher and their friends. Everyone should also be able to gain a better understanding of someone different from themselves by seeing someone similar in the pages of Levy's book.
I hope there will be more adventures of the Family Fletcher to come!
