Home of the Brave: Josette Frank Award Winner for Fiction, Bank Street CollegeGolden Kite Award Winner for FictionA Book Sense Children's PickA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year"A memorable inside view of an outsider." -Publishers Weekly Eve and Adam: "The blend of action and romantic suspense will be welcoming. . ." - Booklist "Observant, smart, and unencumbered by emotion, this is a tasty read that readers will devour in a flash." - Publishers Weekly "The husband-wife team behind the Animorphs series returns with the first installment of an entertaining saga that pits smart teens against high-tech evildoers and bionic skullduggery." - Kirkus Reviews "It'll make 'em laugh. It'll make 'em think. You may want to buy multiples." - School Library Journal "Grant and Applegate portray a chilling brave new world of genetic technology, presenting fascinating speculative possibilities that are weighed against their moral implications." - The Horn Book , Although he is "not an imaginary friend kind of guy," rising fifth-grader Jackson recognizes Crenshaw immediately. The cat, who walks on two legs and likes purple jellybeans, first appeared to Jackson three years ago when his family was living in their van. Although life has been stable since then, Jackson notices "Big piles of bills. Parents whispering. Parents arguing. Stuff getting sold." When he asks his parents if they have "a plan for making everything okay," they respond with evasive answers like "maybe they could plant a money tree in the back yard." Newbery Medalist Applegate (The One and Only Ivan) poignantly conveys Jackson's memory of hunger and homelessness and his realization that both threaten his family again. Certain that he has outgrown Crenshaw, Jackson feels both dismay and wonder that his friend has returned, with his playful, attention-getting antics (taking bubble baths, doing cartwheels and handstands) and thought-provoking answers to Jackson's questions.
