I love having "AH-HA!!" moments as I'm reading and discovering a meaning of the title. This title is perfect for this book.
Big fan of Jerry Spinelli although it did take me a while to really get the way the book was organized with the "PD" headings, but that's probably just me reading too fast. I enjoyed the story though and want to reread it to catch all the details I missed.
I love Spinelli and am thrilled to have yet another fun book for the Guys Read booklist in my head. I think my favorite aspect was his relationship with little next-door neighbor Korbett Finn.
It's also worth mentioning that while the book was all about Will and his journey, the totally fresh and original characterization of Mi-Su really shined through in this book as well. An enjoyable read.
Another Spinelli special... always takes me a few chapters to settle into Spinelli's style but eventually he sweeps me away. Highly recommended.
