Celebrate dads and Father's Day year-round with this warm and witty novel for tweens.Rion Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jellybeans for a living. One sister acts as if shes always on stage, and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more odd than Rions grandfather, Papa Kwirk.Hes the kind of guy who shows up on his motorcycle only on holidays handing out crossbows and stuffed squirrels as presents. Rion has always been fascinated by Papa Kwirk, especially as his sonRions fatheris the complete opposite. Where Dad is predictable, nerdy,and reassuringly boring, Papa Kwirk is mysterious, dangerous, and cool.Which is why, whenRion and his family learn of Papa Kwirks death and pile into the car to attend his funeral and pay their respects, Rion cant help but feel that thats not the end of his story. That theres so much more to Papa Kwirk to discover.He doesnt know how right he is.
