Bookroo's summary

Cyrus's world shatters when a For Sale sign appears on his lawn. Terrified of leaving the only home he's ever known, he devises clever plans to halt the move. Can his tricks keep his family at 637 Petunia Boulevard, or will he be forced into the unknown? As Cyrus battles to stay, the stakes are high, and his determination is fierce. Will his efforts be enough to save his home and his sense of belonging?

From the publisher

When ten-year-old Cyrus sees a For Sale sign plunged into his front lawn, it’s a complete and utter disaster. Usually, his younger brother, Rudy, is the scaredy-cat, but for the first time in his life, Cyrus is terrified. He’s lived at 637 Petunia Boulevard since he came to live with his adoptive mom and dad at two months old. Won’t he go hurtling into outer space without these four familiar walls to hold him in? Luckily, Cyrus has a few sneaky tricks up his sleeve to stop this moving business before it even gets started.

Not for Sale is the first of three books about Cyrus and Rudy. The other two are Blackberry Juice and Black Gold.
