So-so storybook, sorry


Heads or Tails
Stories From the Sixth Grade

by Jack Gantos

Very amusing for tweeners.  Not so much for old farts like me.  I enjoyed it like I would a Reader's Digest article--cute, but shallow.  It's not exactly something I'll seek out and read more of.  It wasn't as clever as Danny Dunn nor as historically amusing as The Great Brain.  And definitely not as flat-out-funny as Pat McManus's childhood tales.  But it was amusing.

Definitely recommended for pre-teen boys.
