Review

This is written like a journal from Justin's point of view. It had me laughing out loud many times as I read the entries. "We have a lot of rules. Like SHARE. But now it turns out that DON'T TAKE DAD'S STUFF is an even bigger one." He is not allowed to say HATE so he calls things he doesn't like a big NO THANK YOU. This is a great story about how sometimes your best friend turns out to be a bully because he doesn't want to share you with others. He accidently hits and sends rubber bands into Justin's eye. I think this would be a great read aloud to help kids not be bullies to their best friends, but learn how to work things out. Recommend for cream.

Overall Book Score: excellent
