"Well grounded in Morgy’s family and community, this family story has more warmth and humor than most chapter books at this reading level." Booklist, ALA
"In a hyper-frenetic plot, reinforced by fast-paced but thoughtful narration, Lewis perfectly captures an active nine-year-old boy's life. . . . Supported by Chesworth's action-packed black-and-white drawings, Lewis keeps the hot pace going from beginning to end. . . . Bravo." Kirkus Reviews —
Description
Morgy has been getting used to life in Puckett Corner, Massachusetts. Sure, he misses California, and his best friend, Keith, but it’s hard to stay focused on that when there are loud baby twins in your house, a greyhound named Dante to take care of, and a big kid named Ferguson to watch out for.
Morgy and his friend Byron are also taking trumpet lessons, as well as playing hockey for the Puckett Corner Pumas, the ten-and-under hockey team usually coached by Byron’s Uncle Mike. But Uncle Mike is fighting forest fires in California, so the Pumas are left with Mrs. Almonio instead. She is no Uncle Mike.
First Morgy made his move. Now he is adjusting to all that the fourth grade has to offer him. In Morgy Coast to Coast, Maggie Lewis has written another heartfelt and hilarious story about Morgy MacDougal-MacDuff, trumpet player, hockey star, and dog walker extraordinaire.
