J Imagine Bill Amend's comic strip Foxtrot foxtrot one of the two artificial gaits of the five-gaited horse. A four-beat gait midway in speed between a walk and a trot. There is a great deal of similarity with several other gaits such as amble, fadge, slow pace, stepping pace, running walk, jog, hound jog. in Britain and you've described the Fury family. Alistair is the long-suffering youngest brother who dreams of becoming a celebrity. Well, that and making the lives of his two older siblings miserable. Eldest sister Mel is boy-crazy and older brother Will is cleanliness-adverse. Alistair believes his life is in clover when he is cast as the lead in a locally produced film. Unfortunately, the filming is to occur during the Fury motor-home summer holiday. The facts don't keep Alistair down for long. He hatches plan after plan to ruin the vacation. Hilarity ensues, as does bathroom humor. Llewellyn has the soul of a ten-year-old boy, complete with outraged innocence and a conviction of least-favored-child status and the general unfairness of life, which is out to get him personally. Llewellyn's Granny is no slouch slouch v. slouched, slouch·ing, slouch·es v.intr. 1. To sit, stand, or walk with an awkward, drooping, excessively relaxed posture. 2. To droop or hang carelessly, as a hat. v. either. Between her bowel troubles and Scrabble games, she adds that special something to the family trip. Definitely a book to inspire little brothers everywhere. Jodi L. Israel, MLS See multilevel security. , Jamaica Plain, MA |
