The Misadventures Of The Family Fletcher

"Dana Alison Levy accomplishes something special with this funny, warm book: She tells an enchantingly timeless story about a family that could only exist today. The Fletchers’ hilarious high jinks could have charmed readers in 1852, but Levy’s choice to center such stories on two dads raising their four multiracial sons is a refreshingly novel one. To stress the makeup of the family, however, is to do a disservice to the book’s primary appeal — the Fletchers’ perfectly ingratiating idiosyncrasies and the way all six of them climb directly into your heart.
