PlotThe Thing about Georgie starts ,when Andy invites Russ into Georgie and Andy’s dog walking business. Andy likes Russ a lot, because he thinks that he is a great person. But Georgie doesn’t like Russ at all, because he thinks that Russ is stealing Andy away from him.

The school play is coming up, and Georgie and Jeanie the Meanie are both assigned to Abraham Lincoln, to find out facts about him together. Georgie is having a tough time with that because Jeanie will not cooperate.

At home things are a little tough for Georgie too, because Georgie’s mom is having another baby, and Georgie thinks when the baby reaches 3-years old that she or he will be taller than him.

Later on in the story, Jeanie makes Georgie look like the best president in the play. They also become really good friends. After a long fight with Andy, about Russ, they decided that Russ can join the dog walking business and that Andy and Georgie can be friends again.

Lily’s Opinion- I liked the book because it talks about Georgie, having

some tough times, but it also talks about him surviving them.

- I recommend The Thing About Georgie because, it is a very funny, hilarious book.
