Rex Norton-Norton (Rex Zero if you pretend that the hyphen is a minus sign) has just moved to Ottawa from Vancouver. His dad’s job as an engineer takes them all over and Rex has never lived anywhere long enough to be anyone’s best friend. It’s 1962, a very scary time because there was almost a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. One of Rex’s new friend’s father is digging a bomb shelter in his back yard! On top of that, there’s a panther loose in the neighbourhood park. Rex finds a way to be brave, to expose the panther, and to make some friends—all before school starts in September.
There is actually an original Rex Zero- this is the second book. Who read this one? Was it good?
