My oldest grandson (~8) found this novel immensely interesting. As hard as he found it to believe, he liked it even better than Ramona.
A grown ass woman can read Beverly Cleary any time she wants for a bit of nostalgia and escapism, and there's no better time to do it than the week Ms. Cleary turns 100 years old. Sometimes you can go home again and it doesn't suck. It's just as you remembered and it makes you happy on a cold rainy Monday. Now on to Henry and Beezus!
