There’s been one major fail. <p><p> He couldn’t save his parents from becoming Xs. Which is a word that sounds like coughing up a hairball. But don’t talk to him about the divorce, because of the hairball thing, and also, it gives Portico the frets. <p><p> What’s also giving him frets is his parents living on two separate floors in their apartment building. He’s never fully with one parent or the other. He’s in-between, all the time. The in-between time. And the elevator is busted, so to get between floors means getting past the bullies who hang in the stairwells. <p><p> So when Portico and new friend, Herbert, and best best friend, Zola, discover an empty apartment, unlocked, they are psyched.

They’re trying to hide it by repeatedly telling Portico to go check on a neighbor “in the meantime.” But Portico knows “meantime” means his parents are heading into the Mean Time which means they’re about to get into it, and well, Portico’s superhero responsibility is to save them, too—as soon as he figures out how. <p><p> Only, all these secrets give Portico the worry wiggles, the frets, which his mom calls anxiety. Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has an arch-nemesis who is determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all. <P><P><b>A New York Times Best Seller</b>

Glossy and teeming with influencers and fashionistas, this is a charming novel.” — Kirkus Reviews“No sophomore slump for Nixon; the second in the series is just as good as the first, and readers who fell for the first installment will do the same with this one.
