Have you seen this man?
Ten-year-old Alex Harper is putting up posters everywhere. He wants to find his dad, but only so the judge can force the "deadbeat" to pay the support he owes. Maybe then his mother can stop working all the time, and she and Alex, his twin sister and little brother can finally take a real vacation together.
To everyone's surprise, Alex actually finds his dad - or does he? The man calling himself Joe Smith certainly looks the part, but he claims there's been a mistake. And Frannie, Alex's mom, is willing to believe him. After all, he doesn't exactly act like her ex-husband. Besides, it's said that everybody has a double somewhere. Of course, it's also said that twins run in families....

About the author
Pamela Bauer
42 books7 followersPamela Muelhbauer was born and raised in Minnesota, one of six children. She and her husband Gerr, live in a small community just northwest of Minneapolis. They have two children, Amy and Aaron, and a bichon-poo that thinks he’s human. The marriage spend much of their recreational time in the lakes region of northern Minnesota. They enjoy roasting marshmallows over an open fire and listening to the call of the loons in the summer, and in the winter they trek through the woods on snowshoes and fish through a hole in the ice. Is it romantic? Ask a Minnesotan and you’ll likely get the answer, "You betcha!" says Pamela, who treasures those moments "up north."
Since selling her first romance in 1986, Pamela Bauer has gained fans around the world for her heartwarming stories about love and family relationships. She plans to continue to write stories about people falling in love and living happily ever after. She hopes that when you read one of her books you’ll smile and maybe even laugh out loud, but more important, when you’ve finished the story you’ll feel good — about families, about life, and about love. She often uses the Midwest as a setting for her books, because she believes there’s something special about the region that makes it the perfect setting for stories about love and family. It’s also the place where she fell in love with her real-life hero, her husband.

Protagonistas: Joe Smith y Frannie Harper
Argumento:
Alex Harper, un niño de diez años, andaba poniendo carteles con una fotografía por todas partes. Quería encontrar a su padre, pero sólo para que el juez pudiera obligarle a pagar la pensión que le debía a su familia. Quizás así su madre pudiera dejar de trabajar a todas horas, y todos se irían de vacaciones juntos.
Para sorpresa de todos, Alex encontró a su padre. El hombre que decía llamarse Joe Smith era exactamente igual, pero afirmaba que había un error. Y Frannie, la madre de Alex, quería creerlo. Después de todo, su forma de actuar no se parecía en nada a la de su ex marido. Además, ella había oído que todo el mundo tiene un doble por ahí...

This was a good book. Very emotional, a little reflective, a few twists and a good ending. Great for passing time or a lazy-day read.

Meh…
I was so ready to love this book when I started. So ready! Yet it fell short to all my expectations.
Honestly, it progressed awfully slowly, and then it all got resolved in the last page. Seriously. So annoying!
And also, Frannie got on my nerves more and more as I read. Sure, I get that she was in a complicated situation, but…
Well, not really, but it sure is funny.
Anyway. I couldn’t really appreciate this book. The kids were cute, and Joe was kind of good as well, but Frannie just annoyed me to no end. I just never felt like I was caught up in the story. You know a book is good when you just can’t stop reading, and would do anything to avoid interruptions. That’s exactly what did not happen to me with this book.
So yeah… meh… can’t really recommend. And I’m giving it two stars because I actually finished it, though it probably is more along the lines of 1.5.
Hope I can redeem myself in the reading department before the year is over, though.
