What About Lucas?

What About Lucas
by Canadian author, R. Jetleb

Seven-year-old Lucas Andrews-Marcotte is not happy. His family is moving from their home in Toronto to the small city of Brantford to be closer to his dad’s book publisher. Lucas thinks it’s a Very Bad idea, but his brother and sister, Dylan and Hailey, are excited. No one is listening to Lucas!

Things do look brighter, though, when they arrive in Brantford. The new house is bigger than their old house and it has a pool and space in the yard for a trampoline. But it is still a lot of change for Lucas.

When the family goes to Lion’s Park on Canada Day for the city’s celebrations, no one has time for Lucas: his dad is working his book table, Hailey is with her friend, Dylan is distracted by a girl, and his mom and aunt seem to care more about the vendors than about taking him on rides!

Lucas is tired of not being heard, so is going to do what he wants to do! What could go wrong?
