Heads or Tales Brings You Back

I loved this book and have had lots of fun sharing this book with my 6th grade students. They laugh at all the parts of the story where I think they should or might and then they laugh at me when I'm laughing at the story. I love reading the scene where Jack rides his bike after the mosquito fogger and whipes out.

I recommend this book to anyone. It is very humorous.

Jack Gantos wrote a half fiction and half biography book. It is filled with many small stories , all tying together in some way. grab it while you can.

A great book!

Though not the best I've read, it's not the worst, either. I think it's a great book for ages 7-14. He's really got something here!
