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.
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

For Ezra
Chapter One
Ancient potatoes lurk in our bedroom closets. Under beds with dust bunnies. In the toes of rubber boots no one has worn since spring. When Mom finds one of the withered gray tubers, she waves it in our faces.
“Do your homework, Rudy!” she says. “Cyrus, clean your room! Or I’ll touch you with this putrid thing. I’ll cook it in your soup without you knowing!”
A slimy tornado of fear whirls in my throat at the thought of wrinkly-potato soup. I try not to gag.
I expect the potato to clink and clack when Mom shakes it in my face, but of course it doesn’t. It’s not a baby’s rattle, it’s a potato.
