Editorial Content for CalvinBookReviewer (text)Alison S., Teen Board member

On the novel’s very first page, however, Calvin blunders through both.

He was born on the day the last strip was published; his grandpa left a stuffed tiger named Hobbes in his crib; and he even has a best friend named Susie.
