Don't Make Me Smile (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

Charlie Hickle's parents have just dropped a major bombshell. They're getting a divorce -- and for some reason they expect him to understand. Understand? Understand why his dad's moving into a disgusting, smelly apartment? Understand why his mom isn't cooking anything for dinner these days except macaroni and cheese? Understand why they're ruining his life? Oh no. Charlie doesn't think so. In fact, he can think of lots of ways to show them his real feelings about the situation. And being understanding about it isn't even on the list.
