This young adult story is
about a teenager who's Dad is writing a book and is taking a long, long time.
Kyle's Mom is fed up with her husband not getting a real job and taking
forever to write this book. His Dad moves out and Kyle decides to try and get
his Dad's book published. He enlists the help of three friends, one who is a
brain and is obsessed with Kyle. They have to make a lot of sacrifices to try
and accomplish their goal.
I loved the book, but I did
not care for the style. The author is constantly babbling and takes a long
time to get to the point. She beats around the bush a little more then she
should. Sometimes, it was just too boring. The author would talk about a whole
different subject then what she was talking about a few sentences earlier. I
like the plot, though, and I fell in love with the characters. She describes
them so well. I think that this is not a high level book and I recommend it to
middle school students. I would also recommend it to anybody who can read
through all of the ranting and still be interested in the book.
