Gr 3-5 This fast-paced, slightly more serious sequel to My Brother Is a Visitor from Another Planet (Candlewick, 1993) paints a realistic picture of sibling rivalry. Adam compares himself to his 13-year-old brother, and the best he can do to measure up to Keith's athletic abilities is to be tidier than him around the house. When Adam and a friend are terrorized by three bullies, they decide to handle the situation on their own rather than make an embarrassing scene. After avoiding the boys as long as possible, the pair try to teach themselves karate and do finally take a stand against them. It is then that Keith and his friend Charlie, who have suspected trouble, intervene. No one is hurt, and the result is increased trust between the brothers. Also, Adam learns that it's not so bad having a sibling who's a superhero. Pair this page-turner about dueling brothers with Stephen Manes's Chocolate-Covered Ants (Scholastic, 1993) for a winning team. Christina Dorr, Calcium Primary School, NY
