Donna E. (Louis Sachar remembers what its like to be a child, and knows the nuances of humor. In this book Gary W. Boone is called Goon by his "friends?". And indeed he is a goon, one with great talent, and marching to a different drummer. The jokes are wonderfully corny, almost drowning out the nuances about learning to be yourself.
an enjoyable read for young readers. it is a companion to the book,"someday angeline" which I would reccomend reading first.
NOTE:this cover is different than the one I have, though it should not make to much of a difference.
