Feigning disinterest in Amy, Austin nevertheless wants to impress her. She is hard to impress, although he wears a superhero costume and builds a life-size statue of an Apatosaurus in her yard using Popsicle sticks. He tells his friend Sternberg that Amy is "yucky". He lassos the moon to give to her as a birthday present, but it drags him to the Arctic before he can wrangle it back home. The moon proves to be made of smelly blue cheese, which causes both Austin and Amy to say "Yuck" and decide they would prefer to have birthday cake. ReceptionThe review by Quill and Quire says, "The exuberant zaniness of Gay's watercolour illustrations nicely complements Gillmor's wry sense of humour." The School Library Journal describes the book as "An amusing picture book fantasy with an endearing young protagonist." [3] Gregory Walters at Boyz Read says, "Gillmor's tale captures Austin's simultaneous feelings of repulsion and attraction to the new neighbor. Why is she so...different? The author adds whimsical details, worthy of smiles if not chuckles... Gay enhances the story with her quirky, endearing illustrations." [4] Awards
