I simply loved this book. It was so supenseful I couldn't put it down. I think that Mr. Garrett's view of a middle school is very true. People tend to sometimes stick to their race at school, but not the characters in this book. My favorite character in this novel is Kathy, because she admitts her faults. Kathy and Max make a great couple! At the end, I was predicting that Kathy would die... but I was wrong! I'm so bad to say such a thing.

Kramers World is a storie that could almost be a true storie. At some points I had gotten scolded at by the teacher to put the book down when I was supposed to be doing my work haha! A couple of times though I did have to re-read the paragraph because it was hard to understand but other than that this storie was powerful, funny and disturbing with what the bullies did. I would definitely recond this book to everyone no matter how old you are.
