One of the reasons that I like this book is because of the text. I like the text because it is kids talking and they have bad grammar. I think it's funny because we don't talk like that now.
Another reason that I like this book is because of the plot. the plot is good because it doesn't stay on one story for a really long time. Every other chapter is a different part in the book.
Another reason that I like this book is because of the point of view. I like this because it doesn't stay in the point of veiw of one person for a long time. Just like the plot, it is better when it jumps around a little bit.”
