Kiwi Magazine Review:
I was a little bit skeptical about this book when I first read the title, but Ted is a winsome character whose parents happen to be divorced and he tells the matter-of-fact changes that occur because they are no longer togehter. Sprinkled with humor and a boy’s perspective, Ted manages to stay true to himself and make peace with the change in his life.

Product Description
Ted’s parents are divorced, but that’s just one fact about him. The fact that he has named his elbows Clyde and Carl? Or that Ted walks around with soap in his hair and likes to squawk like a chicken on the phone? Now, that’s definitely weird.

As shown in this lighthearted yet heartfelt account, life with divorced parents isn’t always easy, but above all Ted knows he’s loved-and there’s nothing weird about that at all.
