Amusing

The gander was one of my favorite characters, but I also liked the way the Jess turns Meetchum, a never-do-well, around in his classes. It was a clever parallel of Jess and his goose, its mother, and his grandmother Hannah, all striving to co-exist. The sequel to this book, "The Mayday Rampage" is written in an entirely different style, but has the same characters of Jess, Molly, Meetchum, Mr.Goodban the teacher and his lover Vic. The magic moment between Jess and Meetchum never repeats, but their friendship has consequences not seen until the next book.
