Cool Zone with the Pain and the Great One by James Stevenson, Judy Blume
3.0
Jake is known by his name to everyone except his older sister, Abibgail. She calls him the pain. Jake has his own name for Abigail as well: the great one. These siblings have a classic case of sibling rivalry and each are convinced that his parents loves the other more than him. In Cool Zone we see more of the family's adventures narrated in turn by the pain and the great one. School life and home life play prominently in the first and third graders lives. Each chapter is a different story that demonstrates just how horrible the other sibling is.
Another fun and dead-on accurate juvenile book by Blume. She has a gift for understanding the way children think and this one, like Soupy Saturdays, is full of more adventures of the Porter family. I think my favorite chapter was the one about Bruno, as my the same thing once happened to my own version of Bruno and I could really feel Jake's pain.
