Abstract:
At first, twelve-year-old Andy focuses on the simple and uncluttered things in life. Andy’s quirky imagination is vivid, but even he can’t conceive of the complex relationships and unexpected treasures that await. As Andy meets Boofer, Emily, and Selena, his life explodes. How in the world would two girls, their families, a cave, driving a big truck without a license, and one old junkyard owner, Otto, change life forever? After a wild ride to rescue Selena, an unexpected encounter awaits Andy. This story allows teens to consider life’s boundaries.

What a delightful find. Dang It, Murphy is a fun book for young readers (from 5th through 8th grade.) I read it thinking it might be a good book to read to my grand kids, and it definitely is. It’s set in a rural area that still has hills, wooded areas and caves. It’s filled with family, friendship, and a reclusive neighbor who just happens to have a junk yard. Andy is a kid who loves and respects his parents, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t push boundaries, make mistakes and get into dangerous predicaments. I found the book refreshing because the characters seemed to be real and the situations they find themselves in real. It was refreshing to read a book that’s has humor, adventure and is filled with worthwhile values. (Plus, it’s a great story about a boy and his dog!
