Good for big kids
This was good for older kids to teens and adults, but may upset younger readers. Young children may also loose interest quicker. But I recomend it.

Nice for middle school children
Lots of good word choices used with humorous idioms. My daughter was studying how to use idioms, metaphors and similes when writing a memoir and this was her teacher's choice but a very good choice indeed. I am a parent and I had no major concerns. The role models aren't good but that was not a major issue of this book.
