Review
"The author of the offbeat Rotten Ralph picture books makes an auspicious foray into new ground with this semi-autobiographical, wholly engaging novel. His narrator, Jack, travels through the often poignant moments that highlight his sixth-grade year." --Starred, "Publishers Weekly"
"Jack Gantos is a terrific writer with a wonderfully wry sensibility." --Starred, "School Library Journal"
