26 Fairmount Avenue by Tomie dePaola
26 Fairmount Avenue is the story of a family that is planning on moving to a new house. However, pretty much everything that can go wrong does, and the family struggles through all of the obstacles. For example, the town decides that Fairmount Avenue is going to become a real road, so they pave it out. However, this leaves the family’s house way higher than the road. Then a fire burns the backyard, a huge storm causes the new finished backyard to flood, and it all has to be redone- again. It talks of the stresses anyone can face when moving into a new situation.
