Great Book

This is a wonderful book about core values, written in a humourous, yet serious, style. My two sons, ages 14 and 17, even enjoyed it.

Must Read at Any Age

This is a must read book from ages 10 on up. Gives good advice for young people to think about as they grow up. It also reinforces to adults what they were taught growing up. Life is full of challenges, no matter what your age. This book reminds us about the golden rule, treating people well, doing the right thing etc. It does it in a lighthearted way, not a finger shaking do this approach. It will make you laugh and cry.

"I wonder what else this guy wrote?" Lea

I have a 9 year old who has always had to be forced to read. Her 4th grade teacher requires 20 min. per night reading, signed by me. She loved this book. It was almost all readable by her grade level. She felt competent and interested. She had other girls over for sleep overs and read the book to them. This is the greatest book that any of my seven kids has ever read. It has provoked many conversations with her and stopped the "It's not fair." It has changed our family. What more can you ask from a book!
