Just call me stupid

This was a really good book.It does have its moments when it isn't very interesting,but for the most part it is very interesting.It is about a boy who has some problems and he has to try to get over them with the help of his friends.I would very much so recomend this book.

Just Call Me Stupid is a GREAT book!!!!!

I have just finished reading Just Call Me Stupid. The book is really good and has a lot of emotions. When I was reading this book I felt like I was the character and I felt their emotions. I could feel angry when Patrick was angry. I could feel sorrow when Celina was sorrowful and I could feel the calmness of Mrs. Romero. The story is really good and I am so happy that Patrick can read now. If you have not read this book, READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Good book for diversitity/tolerance lessons

I like this book because it shows that everyone is special and has unique talents, if you just look in the right places. It has humor and suspense, but can get a little overdone with the "stupid" theme at times.

The book gave good insight into a southwestern school.

I really did enjoy this book. I thought it gave really good insight into what a real southwestern elementary school is like. I had one real big problem with the book though, I didn't like the use of wetback in the story. I know that is what a lot of white people call people from Mexico and farther south, but I don't think young children need to hear or see that kind of language. It's like your showing them (the children) another derogatory word they can use around their friends and family. Other than that I really liked the book.
