Great middle grade read

This was a perfect read for middle school kids. It was funny and cute while giving the reader a much needed escape. The writing was clear and easy to follow, making this a wonderful story for kids to embrace and giggle at all the silly jokes and pranks.

I would recommend this to kids and plan on letting my daughter read it. Well dome!

Amazing book. It's a book that talks about autism-a condition that we tend to avoid-and also addresses important messages about bullying, companionship and all this blend into a magical world. The book is well-written with a simple manner so children can understand.

Great

My boys ages 9 and 13 both loved the story! They can't wait to share it with their friends when school starts back.
