One of the best

This book was awesome. It was full of fun and humor. It is right up there with a must read. I highly recommend it.

This Book is Wonderful!

This is a great book! It's great for kids from fourth grade to seventh, and good for reluctant readers. When Donald and his brother Pat's father comes home, at first they are thrilled. Then Donald's father buys a home out in absolutely-middle-of-deep-space-completely-nowhere, and Donald is sad to leave his friends. He is so upset with his father; he decides to run away to California. But first he needs to save exactly ten dollars. But there's plenty of stuff to do in the meantime, and he knows he'll go as soon as he gets enough money...Or will he? This is a warm-hearted tale by Don Lemna, and be prepared for lots 'o' laughs when you read it! I highly reccomend this book.
