Noah struggles to impress the kids he meets when he and his family move to a new house.

Moving to a new neighborhood means having to make new friends--which makes klutzy Noah more than a little nervous. And even though Mo--the spunky but nosy girl who livs next door--introduces him to her group of friends, he still has to find a way to win them over. How will he have to impress them before he can call them friends? Here is a funny story about loyalty and change, lauded by reviewers for its lively dialogue and true-to-life characters, that will have Johanna Hurwitz's legions of fans cheering "Oh yes, Noah!"
