"Laugh-out-loud funny . . . The author has bull's-eye accuracy in capturing the private torments of a twelve-year-old." —The Buffalo News
"As real as it gets." —The Book Report
"The author of the offbeat Rotten Ralph picture books makes an auspicious foray into new ground with this semi-autobiographical, wholly engaging novel. His narrator, Jack, travels through the often poignant moments that highlight his sixth-grade year." —Starred, Publishers Weekly
"Jack's a survivor, an 'everyboy' whose world may be wacko but whose heart and spirit are eminently sane . . . Gantos is a terrific writer with a wonderfully wry sensibility." —Starred, School Library Journal
