And they survive brilliantly, each in their own way. Twin boys throw themselves into an independent research assignment on prehistoric people and embrace their own devolution. A budding track star is encouraged to run laps on his balcony by a neighbor who has a secret crush on him. A classroom troublemaker reaches out to a teacher when his own father begins to exhibit signs of mental illness. A young entrepreneur saves himself and his hairdresser mother from financial collapse by renting out the family dog. And a girl finds a way to communicate with her hearing-impaired neighbor so that they can spy on the rest of the building. The stories follow the course of the pandemic, from the early measures through lockdown, as the kids in the building observe the stresses on the adults around them and use their own quirky kid ingenuity to come up with ways to make their lives better. Funny, poignant and wise, this book will long outlive even the pandemic."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Apartment 4A, Sunny days inside -- Apartment 2D, How to be a cave family -- Apartments 3D & 4B, Reo & Juliet -- Apartment 3C, I like your tie -- Apartment 1C, The entrepreneur's bible -- Apartments 2A & 2C, The two Harriets -- Apartment 3A, The incredible escaping bra man -- Imagine. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Epidemics $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Apartment dwellers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20211012011004.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210812010150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E3E5D6AFB3211EB84FE297527ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
