This book is interesting. I'm 15 and from the United States. I read this book as an assignment for my class, and I'm glad I did. While I think it was a little short, I also read relatively fast. The humor was good, and I think that the book gives kids a new perspective about life. Instead of carefully tip-toeing past racism, it takes it head on and is a main issue in the book. It has a good message, it addresses big issues through jokes. Worth a read!
