Still Vivid After All This Time

Read it years and years ago in middle school. Loved every letter of it, reread it over and over... no wonder I aced every quiz on it. It's funny in a clean, good, not-slapstick or stupid but a humorous way. Very good description, well-developed characters, G-R-R-R-R-R-E-A-T plot... and my favorite lesson, contrary to the one preached on t.v. shows for tweens that everyone has what it takes to be popular but it's not worth it, but that there are some cool and some "geeks", and it's always okay to be the latter: We had more fun!

Comic characters address stereotypes and school life

I am a teacher in British Columbia, Canada and I have to say, the students love this book. I have introduced it for a number of years in a literature circle setting, where kids get to discuss books. Both the kids and their parents really appreciate a book with both great comic relief and serious issues, such as bullying and learning disabilities addressed. The kids simply howl at some of the antics of Douglas and his "friends". I have had many parents thank me for choosing such a fantastic book! I simply cannot believe it is officially out of print!!!

One of my favorites

I read this book when I was in sixth grade and I thought it was hilarious. I'm a senior in high school now and this is still one of my favorite books. It's such a funny book. I'll just burst out laughing THINKING about some parts in this. Definitely get it--you will not regret it. It is so awesome.
