Customer Reviews

Published 20 years ago, still a great read

I read this book over ten years ago, when I was in middle school, and I loved it. The journal format is particularly appealing to young readers, and the narrator has a very likable voice: responsible, smart, good-humored and just a bit sarcastic. It doesn't feel dated, either, probably because it takes place in a small town in Idaho rather than in a big city. I saw this book last year at a library sale and was thrilled to own it again.

One or my favorites! Full of fun Flavor!

I have read this book more than once and highly reccomend it to anyone hungry for a refreshing book! It's written with great taste and will truly make you laugh out loud. The experinces are real and you can easily picture them in your mind. The main character is like your brother or like a friend the whole way threw. It's like a good buddy telling you of his experinces. It easy to read and a whole lot of fun
