[Brianna Allman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book follows the story of two brothers who share a room. The conflict comes from the older brother repeatedly stealing the younger brother's bike when he needs it. I think a lot of students can relate to having problems sharing with their siblings so I think they will enjoy this read. This book has quite a few unexpected turns, but ultimately ends with a lesson that a lot of students could benefit from. Students could read this book starting in about 3rd grade.

The end was interesting when they raced back home I expected andrew to when the race but alex won and blocked the door so andrew couldn't get in.

This was my favorite book before things like YA were invented. I love this book so much.

I like this because its about two brothers who don't get together. One thing i don't get about is that the one who is dirty don't work hard as the neat brother.
