An insightful and funny new collection of short stories from award-winning author Tim Wynne-Jones. In "War at the Snow White Motel," Rex and his family are vacationing in Vermont. A thoughtless act launches him into war with an older teenager at their motel, but a much bigger conflict - the Vietnam War - looms large on the horizon. Ant wants to join the #FridaysForFuture movement - and impressing the new girl at school is only one good reason why. Joseph and Danny are determined to right an old wrong, no matter the consequences. Michel takes a road trip to spot a rare bird, and along the way learns what his father is really afraid of. Robin has to battle her anxiety when her great-grandfather sends her in search of an old stuffed toy with a storied past.

A boy can't figure out why the class bully won't leave him alone - it's not anything he could have foreseen.

"Who wouldn't want to spend time with the . . . eccentric
Norton-Nortons?"--M. T. Anderson Why does everyone seem so scared?
That's what the new boy in town, Rex Norton-Norton, aka Rex Zero,
wonders as he rides his bike through Ottawa's streets. Is it spies?
Kidnappers? Or is it because of the shadowy creature some say is
stalking Adams Park? One thing is certain in this summer of 1962 as
the Cold War heats up: nothing is quite what it seems. What's a boy
to do? If his name is Rex Zero and he has a bike he calls "Diablo,"
five wild and funny siblings, an alpha dog named Kincho, a basement
bomb shelter built of old Punch magazines, and a mind that turns
everything inside out, he's bound to come up with an amazing
idea.
