NOT, by me. I did not like the book. I had to read it with my child as a school project. I can understand why the teacher who was later fired for sexually harassing a student chose this book. It was the Jerry Springer show in a book. [spoiler removed] It's been a while since I read it and what stands out in my memory was way too many words spent on describing the sun. Ya, I spelled that right. The big yellow sun that gives off heat. Words wasted on describing penis's which was unnecessary. One thing that did keep my interest was the 2 brothers whose parents split up but it had a uninteresting ending. I do not recommend it.
