Little-known but a goodie

I've always remembered reading this book, a surreal and really rather sinister and apocalyptic tale of kids on the run in the name of individuality. The premise bears a lot of similarity to the 1998 movie Disturbing Behavior, with parents zombifying their kids in order to make them behave, but minus the "mature themes". If anything, one could say it was like Disturbing Behavior meets Logan's Run, written for sixth-graders. It's a little-known, but definite, gem.

The book that taught me to love reading.

I bought this book when I was in elementary school. I read it and was so taken aback that I read it over. It was so creative that, for the first time, I was swept into a story. I would lose all track of time. Like the bookworms I started to take the book to the dinner table with me. I've read a dozen times since then and always come back to it when I think about the greatest book I've ever read.

A must-read for all teachers, students, and fiction lovers!

What a wonderful book! I read it as a child, and still pull out my old dog-eared copy every few years to give myself a pick-me-up. The author's outrageous creativity and humor only add to the poignancy of the subject matter.

This was the best book I've ever read.

I read this book over and over. The plot has so much tension, it's hard to put it down. There are also wonderful descriptions of people and things and wonderful names, like Mr. Snockadocka or Miss Solemnsides. I wish there were a sequel!!!!

the best book ever!

I remember reading this book as a kid and loving it. It had the most obscure and creative plot I have ever read and it made the story just wonderful! I highly recomend this book to children of all ages.
