Very Funny

I laughed out loud a number of times reading this book. Jane St. Anthony has a deft comedic touch with everything from the simplest descriptions to the ludricous situations of daily life. The characters are all people you either know or wish you did, and the squirrel rocks.

A Delightful Book

This is a sweet, realistic book about the confusions of pre-adolescense. It is a page-turner, as Margaret reacts to Sherman's crush while negotiating the pressures of her family life. There's also a baby squirrel! Every child and most adults will love this book.

The ultimite book!!!!!!!

My teacher gave me a copy of this book to read over Thanksgiving break and this is now my new favorite book. The story takes place a long time ago but I still liked reading it. my favorite character is Margaret's friend Grace. I think she is pretty. Everyone should read this book. I hope Jane St. Anthny writes more books soon so I can read them.
