Tony Baloney Buddy Trouble

About this book

Tony Baloney and his best friend,
Bob, can't wait for tonight.
It's Books and Buddies,
the best school event ever!
But will a fight with Big Sister
ruin everything?

With spot-on comic timing and hilariously familiar situations, award-winners Pam Munoz Ryan and Edwin Fotheringham once again examine sibling dynamics with insight and heart.

Whether you are a Bossy Biggest, a Mellow (and mischievous) Middle, or a Bothersome Baby, you are sure to find yourself or someone you love in the Baloney family.
