Skeezie Tookis has a life-changing summer in this fourth book of the funny, heartfelt, and beloved Misfits series by Bunnicula author James Howe.
I started wearing my dadâs leather jacket that he left hanging in the closet. I nabbed it right before my mom was going to toss it in the trash. She hated that I wore that jacket, but itâs what I have left of my dad.
Skeezieâalso known as Elvis for the black leather jacket that he never takes offâisnât looking forward to the summer after seventh grade. While his best friends Bobby, Joe, and Addie have exciting adventures, heâs stuck babysitting his sisters and working at the Candy Kitchen. True, he gets to hang out with the awesome Steffi, but he still has to contend with his maybe-crush on hot-and-cold Becca and Kevin Hennesseyâs never-ending bullying. When his dad suddenly reappears, itâs another sign that this will be the worst summer ever.
