A charming little French book

The main character turns out to be very likable, even though many of the other characters consider him to be a loser of low intelligence. His intelligence simply is not inherently comfortable in the French academic setting. With the help and advice of his grandfather, he is able to work on many of his issues, not just the academic ones, but also those of self-pity and failure to take responsibility. I actually read this book in French, so I can't assess the quality of the translation. My French isn't that stellar, but I still thought the book was an easy read.

95 pounds of hope

I lot the book was good. The book is about a boy that didn't like school. The boy reminds me of me. B/c I hated school to when I was littel. Thats why I like the book. The thing I like the most was when he was climing the rope and asked for help from his grandfather. That part remineds me of my grandfather. The thing I can see in the story is. the boy climing the rope sweeting and having a hared time climing.
