Bookroo's summary
Alexander's world is turned upside down when his family plans to move a thousand miles away. Determined to stay, he vows not to leave his best friend, favorite babysitter, and cherished neighborhood. Will Alexander find a way to remain in the place he loves, or will he be forced to face the unknown? With humor and heart, this story captures a child's struggle against change and the ties that bind us to home.
From the publisher
The rest of Alexander’s family is moving a thousand miles away, but there’s NO way Alexander is going to leave his best friend, his favorite babysitter, or all the places and people he’s known all his life. Even if he has to live in a tree house or a tent or a cave!
