Good Book Took a while to read but it was funny sometimes boaring but all in all it was really good to read its about a boy wants to go in a girls bathroom as they think it lookes different with like pink floors and more thing that they think its luxorious (

RGG: Couched in Sachars' humorous voice is a story about a troubled boy, a bully, an outcast, a failure, who with the help of a school psychologist finds his way . Powerful and engaging. The imaginary voices of Bradley's stuffed animals may be confusing. Reading Interest: 10-13.
