Great book
I read it with my twins, they LOVED it! There was some language... But, overall, I reccomend it.

"A must-read book for every 8 year old."
I think that this was an easie read, and enjoied it at times. On the other hand i also think that it was and will be a little too easie for anyone under 13 years of age.

An OK Book, but not TOO OK
Roy Eberhardt is a kid who moves from Montana to Florida, and doesn't like it at all. He expects what he gets though; a bully: Dana Matherson. Roy wouldn't have met Napolean at all if it weren't for Dana, though. After Dana mashed his face into his school bus window, Roy saw the boy. He met the boy soon after too, and his cousin, Beatrice the bear. They call this new kid "mullet fingers" so he had to be interesting. Roy and Napolean and Beatrice become friends and they tell Roy that they're trying to stop people from bulldozing an empty lot with a lot of burrowing owls' nests in it. Roy's beginning to start a whole new life in Florida now, and boy he likes it!

Real world...
The book is pretty good, it seems like the first half wat taken from a diary and the other half from a newspaper. Well written.
