I love this book.  I love this book for so many reasons – I really don’t know where to begin.  Let’s start with the brilliant turns every chapter takes until you have no idea where the book is going.  I read this book to a group of students over one summer.  The ages?  6 to 8 years old.  The thing about this book is that if you read it WITH your kids you will enjoy it just as much.  That’s the magic of Luis Sachar’s brilliant story.  Did I use brilliant already?  That’s alright because it applies.  This amazing story will capture the imagination of everyone who reads it.  It’s also available for VERY reasonable prices off Amazon.  So click on the link and purchase your copy today!
