I’m a big Gordon Korman fan, especially his older books, and this is one of my favorites! The humor is timeless, the descriptions are witty, and the adventures are crazy. I have reread this book many times over the years, and it never fails to produce a few laughs…the out-loud, can’t-keep-it-in kind of laughs!

I have many memories of chuckling over scenes in this book with my family. This story is hilarious, wild, and a great clean read for younger readers!
