Bookroo's summary

Alex's life turns upside down when he must share a room with his chaotic brother, Ethan. Desperate for peace, Alex pens persuasive letters, hoping to reclaim his space. Will his clever words win him a room of his own, or will he find an unexpected solution? Dive into this sibling saga filled with humor and heart.

From the publisher

A hilarious companion to I Wanna Iguana. Ever since their baby sister came along, Alex has been forced to share a room with his little brother, Ethan, and it’s a nightmare. Ethan always breaks stuff, snores like a walrus, and sticks crayons up his nose. No hardworking, well-behaved, practically grown-up boy like Alex should have to put up with that!Writing letters to his mom convinced her to let him get his pet iguana, so Alex puts pencil to paper again, this time determined to get his own room. Though all of his powers of persuasion can’t get his dad to expand the house, he does come through with a fun alternative to give Alex some space of his own.
