This is a story about 6th graders Dustin Groat and Carly. Their class is to do interviews of each other. They chose their partners and Carly is supposed to interview Dustin and Dustin is interviewing Carly.
Dustin is the one student that no one really likes at the school. He seems lazy, annoying, dirty and just plain childish. Carly has complained about Dustin to her parents and her father said to walk in his shoes and maybe you will feel different.
I enjoyed the story because Carly grew up in the book and realized that some things she did when she was younger to Dustin were wrong and apologized to him. This is a nice easy weekend read.

This is an okay book. It tells you a lot about child abuse laws and homeschooling rules. You learn a lot, but it's not too realistic.
this book is a good book
