This book was one of the BEST reads I have come across. I literally cannot describe how much it changed my life. At points of time, I was so hooked onto the plot of this book, it drove me nuts. I was howling and cackling with laughter. Dee's incredibly cute nut was so fun to read about. The cover does not lie-it was huge. All in all, I would definitely definitely recommend to kids of any age. My 8th grade teacher Mrs. Macesy read this to us the other day, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It also contributed to my AR reading score by adding an additional .5 points. Please buy this book-you won't be disappointed ๐.
