Review

Another excellent book by Jerry Spinelli, this book is funny, heartbreaking, and surprising. The main idea is about a sibling rivalry between Megin and her older brother, Greg. that's the humor, but there are also side stories about Greg ands love for some girl named Jennifer Wade, until she moves to Conestoga. Then Sara Bellamy, who he considers is "not his type" starts to enter the story. Megin has no side story, other then cleaning her roach- infested room and befriending a Halley's Comet-worshipping girl named Zoe. The author's style hasn't changed (which I hope it never will). It is kid- friendly and humorous, and you will hope it will never end (it does end in a strange sort of way- it should have been longer). I would recommend it to a middle- or junior high- schooler who reads for fun.

You will read this book over and over!

When I read this book, I found out that I couldn't put it down for several days! I know that you will love this book! It is about Megan and Greg (siblings) that have troubles with each other and their family. The chapters are written by Megan and Greg (they switch off every chapter). I didn't want this book to end!!!! I wanted it to keep going forever! Overall, you should read this book!

I absolutely LOVE this book!

I first read this book in middle school (12 years ago!) and ever since, I've always loved Jerry Spinelli novels. I can't imagine anyone not finding this book laugh-out-loud funny. It is a story about two siblings, Meagan and Greg, that continually argue and bicker. The story is told from each siblings point-of-view, which lends an interesting angle to the story. Throw in a younger brother (with a smaller role), and you've got the makings for a hilarious book. As a teacher, I've recommended this book to my upper elementary children with much success.

The best book!!!!

I think was the best book because it was hilarious, sad, and exciting. I thought the way that Greg and Megin are always fighting and feeling very much malice against each other was in a way, extremely funny. The way they make their own point of view can be confusing in the begining but you will get used to it. I personally like Megin a little more since she's about my age. But Greg's point of view is also very exciting. I recommend this book to all people who are young adults.This is my favorite book ever!!

I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!

Jerry Spinelli is one of my favorite authors, and this book hooked me on to him. Some parts of this book made me laugh, others made me cry. I have read this book at least 15 times and I'm still reading. In my list of top ten authors Jerry Spinelli is #1.
