See You Around, Sam!

In this delightful chapter book, Sam Krupnik, the younger brother of Anastasia, decides to run away to Alaska after his mother bans his beloved plastic fangs inside the house. His elaborate plan involves saying goodbye to each neighbor, who, in turn, offer him an array of impractical supplies and advice. This humorous journey of 'escape' gently explores childhood anger, the comfort of home, and the subtle ways a community supports a child's big feelings. It's a charming story about learning that sometimes, the best place to be is right where you started.

Sam Krupnik, mad at his mother because she won't let him wear his new plastic fangs in the house, decides to run away to Alaska.
