Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary D. Schmidt

4.0

Carter Jones is a middle school boy who is struggling finding his place amongst his family that is falling apart. One day a butler appears at the family’s door and despite his best attempts Carter learns many life lessons from the Butler. There is a lot of cricket descriptions in this book, but I loved the family story and how Carter learned to be a “gentleman” by paying attention and remembering who he was and who loved him.
