Sibling Revelry

If your kid loves Drake and Josh, this will scratch the itch — the physical comedy and sibling rivalry of the show translate reasonably well to chapter book form, and the dual bet subplot gives it a little more structure than a straight episode adaptation. But this is firmly a licensed property book: it leans entirely on show familiarity, the creative ambition is minimal, and formal critical coverage is essentially nonexistent. A solid choice for reluctant readers who are fans; everyone else should look for original fiction.
