I went to a meeting today and two of my colleagues mentioned how good this book is. I checked it out soon after.
Supposedly in January 2008 a movie version of this book will be released. It has been suggested to use this as a read-aloud to my class.
The book started out great. It lost a bit of its luster around page 70. The story was fun and I think it would make for a good read aloud.
The ending seemed rushed and not quite believable, despite the genre.
...ContinuaWay too cute for it's own good - made me want to read it to someone much younger!
I've gone by this many times and never brought it home, but ever since I read Brother Odd and found out it had changed Brother Knuckles' life, I've been wanting to read it. So here I go.
