great book

I am in 5th grade, and I chose this book for a book report. This book really pulled me in. I liked how the author gets the reader's attention by directly "speaking" to the reader. It was a book I wanted to read and find out what happened in the end.

I love this book

I thought that TTOD had happy, sad, and angry parts in it. I also thought that every character was funny in their own way!
