Benny's mom's advice to help other people doesn't make a lot of sense to Benny - not when his family is the one with the worst problems. Benny's brother George is autistic, and their father recently had an aneurysm (which everyone assured Benny was not his fault, so of course he's convinced that it was). Benny's dad isn't back to normal yet at all, and they're not sure if he ever will be. Meanwhile, at school, Benny's old best friend has moved away and he has to settle for Jeremy - but he also discovers that Olga, who is legally blind, is pretty fun to talk to. Benny just wishes he could be good at something, and when his school starts a program for kids to get footprints on a wall for doing kind deeds, Benny thinks at least he can earn a footprint - but he doesn't.

Fourth grade is complicated - or maybe that's just life. Benny's kindness shines through the book, and his oldest brother, Martin, also figures out that kind is better than cool. They also learn not just how to give help, but how to receive it.

Quotes

The only problem with moving up the cool ranks is that it can be a big mistake if you're not really a cool person. It can mean sitting at a lunch table and laughing at stories when you have no idea at all what's funny about them. (33)

Jeremy is nice to me about 75 percent of the time; 25 percent of the time he says things to remind me that he's better than me at everything. (66)

"You don't think you could ever, in a million years, handle it, and then it happens and you do. You just go one day at a time and suddenly you realize, here I am. I'm handling it. (Mom to Benny, 159)

Bigger problems put littler ones in perspective. (172) ( )

Terrific book for the 9-12 set with a boy protagonist and a lot of humour. Highly recommended. ( )
