Jack Gantos is a great writter and this is one of his best books yet! It's fun exciting and ou never know what will happen next. The next page your about to cry, then next your laughing histarically, and then the next your helka grossed out. It is such an aventurious book because he has such bad a.d.d. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is a great book, Jack Gantos is able to mix humor and real life together very well, This is a laugh out loud book, almost as good as the first joey P book, but no where near the Jack Henry series.
