Sometimes a book pleasantly surprises you by being so much more layered than you expected, and this book fits that description for me. Eddie is sent to a senior citizens home to do some community service in preparation for his bar-mitzvah, but as he is making friends with all the seniors, their stuff starts to go missing! When he is accused of being the thief, he has to clear his name. I loved the relationships between Eddie and his family and the seniors and how the problems of the seniors were well represented for a middle grade audience. I flew through this read and enjoyed every fun and sweet second.
