The fourth in the West Creek series - does not disappoint

Claudia Mills has done it again! This book is the fourth in the series about the West Creek Middle School Gang and is wonderful insofar as we get to take a look at life from the viewpoint of Alex Ryan. Readers of the first three books will certainly recall Alex, the wisecracking boy who LOVES to tease and make people laugh. In the fourth book of the series, readers discover WHY Alex is the way he is and what makes him tick. We also see what happens when a joke is carried too far but we also witness Alex shining through at the book's ending that is truly inspiring. Readers are sure to identify with Alex through his adventures. Enjoy!
