Tofu And T. Rex — Greg Leitich Smith

Militant vegan Frederika Murchison-Kowalski is back at the Peshtigo School after a brief stint in Texas (where she torched an artificial turf field to save Angus the Fighting Angus from the "rabid and inhumane cult" of football). The bad news is that now Freddie has to live with her cousin, Hans-Peter, a die-hard carnivore, and her grandfather, who happens to own a butcher shop and sausage deli. Having never had a sibling, Freddie and Hans-Peter are soon at odds with each other over bathroom sharing, dinner menus, and more. To complicate matters, Hans-Peter needs Freddie's insider knowledge to get accepted into the Peshtigo School himself.

In their adventures with fire, fossils, and kielbasa, Hans-Peter and Freddie come upon the true meaning of "survival of the fittest" -- and come away whole (almost). Greg Leitich Smith delivers more wit and hilarity in this companion to Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo.
