[edit] Plot summary

Twelve-year-old Megin explains the difficulties with her older brother, while he offers another side of the story. It is a book about sibling rivalry. This book shows how two siblings cope with each other and how one tragedy showed them how much they really cared about each other.

[edit] Trivia

  • The characters Megin and Greg are based on Spinelli's real life children Molly and Jeffrey.
  • Leo Borlock, who would later be the main character in Stargirl is mentioned in this novel as a person who everyone goes to for advice.[1]

[edit] Footnotes

  1. ^ The following passage from the novel Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush? (1984, by Jerry Spinelli): "I even thought of Leo Borlock. A lot of kids - mostly girls, actually - go to him for advice" (Spinelli 21). It could be the same Leo from Stargirl, which would make sense to due to him not appearing in the sequel.
