Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-25 00:00:00 Etienne Gratton Although this one starts off slow and is more character-driven than plot-driven, I think I might find an audience for this book with those that enjoy the "sad" stories. Billy James has to deal with the death of his best friend, while also redefining his relationships with his mother and brother.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-28 00:00:00 Stuart Bandman That Louis Sachar is something else. In the book he introduces kids to the idea that English can be troublingly ambiguous. He shows the problems with assuming, and there's a fantastic dialogue sequence that takes place in between the protagonist and facial expressions of his friend/future wife. So, what'd you guys think? El: well I think it's a great book. I really like the part when Marvin Redpost and Casey wished no one would be sick that day. Poppy: I like the part where they wished for cookies. Gwen: I like the part where Marvin wished for them to get married when they grow up. Dad: So it was a good book? Gwen: Yep. El: Can you add one more thing? I basically like all the parts before and after Marvin wished for Casey to be quiet. Dad: All right, it's in there. Let's go read it.
