Fun
Last year, this book was taught in my class. (I was in fifth grade.) I read at an adult level, so therefore this was much too easy for me, but it was a fun book that I enjoyed reading. We read it during school, but it would make a great summer read for younger kids.

i don't particularly like this type of book (back-in-my-day-a-cheeseburger-was-a-nickel) but this book was really well done. well written, entertaining, and just plain funny. really goos.
