Eye Opener!!

Wow! This was a wonderful book. It's one of the best books I've read in a while. Wersba's imagination and creativity has hooked me again. The book was realistic and really made me think. Through rough times and fun times you had to read on. The book is about a young boy who's life is turned upside down when he gets on a plane Zurich, Switzerland. The characters are realistic and easy to relate to. The description is fantastic. The story holds an important moral, a moral which I had never thought about before. If you are realistic fiction crazy or if your not, this is a good book. Read this book and you'll be in for an adventure.

This was one of the best books I have ever read

I am now 25, but I consider this book to still be one of my absolute favorites. I laughed at Harvey's quips and little-old-man maturity, and cried at his would-be love affair. The writing is flawless, the decriptions of NYC neighborhoods, Harvey's school life, and warped dog-loving mother were all amazing. A true find!

Powerfull coming of age story of one unhappy boy.

This book was absolutely breath taking. The story begins in Queens NY with a poor teen age boy who can't make one thing go right for him. Through diary entries to his psychiatrist he tells of his journey to Zurich, what happens there and what changes inside of him.
