Gotta think
I read it in 5th grade and I thought it was good, though I didn't understand most parts. You need a bit of brain to understand and fully enjoy it but nontheless I really liked it. You just need to think and then you'll get it. There are bad words and references to drugs but I think the drugs the dog treats had were different so it might now count.

This book is so wonderful! My 6th grade language class read this book. It complexity and flashbacks makes this book interesting. It is a great book about treating eachother nicely and teaches that it is okay to be different.

Good book
Recomended by a librarian, a good book to read, yet takes a little brain power to comprehend. If you focus enough, the book becomes a must read for tweens+.

a good read
i think that this book is awesome for us 6th graders. some of it makes no sense to me, but other than that, i think everyone 11 and older should read it.

BORING!!!
In my opinion, it was extremely boring. When the author was talking about each character's life and how they knew what that word meant, I had to read it over and over and OVER again. It got extremely confusing at those parts. They also said the true words for female dog and donkey and that is bad language. Also, one of the kids attempted to give drugs to a dog! ANIMAL ABUSE!!! And they're drugging the dog because they're dog couldn't get in? A bit desperate if you ask me. That person also stole the drugs from his mom, who is a vet. Stealing, bad language, drugs, and animal abuse. It was so boring that when I attempted to read it, the first 5 minutes I fell asleep and I couldn't finish it.

Not for 11yr olds
this book is not for 11 year olds. it is very boring at first but it connects all at the end. This book uses advance language that most 11 yr olds do not know.
