A familiar story about first-day-of-school fears and the kind of friendship that helps you overcome them. For children ages 4 years and up. It's the first day of school and Max is terrified! But he's sure that Mr. Kalamazoo, his stuffed bear, will protect him. Only . . . not so much. Things get totally wild! Luckily, just when it looks like the day will be a complete disaster, a mysterious classmate opens her backpack . . .

The 1980's: it's the time of Dungeons & Dragons, banana clips, and Atari. Jonathan Schwartz is growing up in a family like no other. His sisters, Nadia, the dark genius, and Olivia, the gorgeous tease and temptress, manipulate Jon and his friends for their own entertainment. And his Holocaust survivor grandparents? Their coping techniques are beyond embarrassing. A disastrous visit to Jon's class by his grandmother unhinges his famous father, setting off a chain of events that threatens to send the dysfunctional Schwartz clan up in flames once and for all. Fun & Games is a heartbreaking and hilarious story of faith, family secrets, betrayal, and loss-but it's also a tale of friendship, love, and side-splitting shenanigans.
