Shermy is not happy when a disruptive neighbor moves in. Shake is self-centered and rude. He's not a bully or purposefully mean, but he just doesn't realize how his actions affect others. Shermy likes to have things orderly and quiet, but Shake is loud and chaotic. Can these two find some common ground and become friends?

This was a cute book! I liked the character development as the boys learn to get along. I really loved the adorable illustrations and cute art style.

The writing is a little disjointed though. The pacing of the story is odd. Each chapter ends in a weird place, as the boys are about to do some activity. We don't actually see them doing the activity, but we sometimes hear about it in the next chapter when it is days later in the story. I felt like the timeline was a little weird, and things are left unresolved.

Other than that funny quirk in the writing, I liked the story.
