This book was very interesting and well written. It's kind of strange, but once you get into it, you'll realize how good of a story it really is.

About Eggs
Parents need to know that there's not much to be be concerned with here, beyond a bit of mild swearing and some minor scuffling. The main character, age 9, is dealing with the death of his mother a year earlier.

- My highlights are:
readers ned to understand good from bad
I absolutely love Jerry Spinelli, and i think that eggs is a great story. It's heartwarming...I gave this book a role model concern because a kid has to be old enough to know whats good from whats bad-such as everything that the kids rebel against, kids need to know that that isnt good. otherwise, excellent story. :D

Touching story.
Like many of Jerry Spinelli's books, it's a little strange at parts, but otherwise, it's just a touching, heart-warming story.

Great Book
I am reading this book and so far it is really good. But, like all Spinelli books, its a little strange.
