Review

So at first glance I thought this would be a great early reader book. That is until I got in to reading it and discovered numerous mis use of wording, and poor story writing. For example the character Shawn is saying to himself "One on hand, I could....",(should say "On the one hand" the next sentence says "One the other hand....." and should say "On the other hand". How can I give this book to child who is developing their reading skills? So although the lesson presented in the story of not cheating in school and friendships, and siblings is a good one, I not sure that this book will make it on our bookshelves.

Overall Book Score: poor
