This memoir will have you LOLing!! Five stars all around. This is a must-read for anyone ready to level up a bit from their Wimpy Kid addictions. LOVED.

DISCLAIMER: I received a digital review copy of The Boy Who Failed Dodgeball via Edelweiss Above the Treeline in exchange for an honest review

I don't think it's AS good as the Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie series or The Secret Sheriff of Sixth Grade, but it was still quite enjoyable, and I really think it'll be popular with the Wimpy Kid crowd.

Sonnenblick is one of the best middle grades authors out there. Dodgeball lives up to the brilliance of the other books. I think it's my new favorite. 

Witty, funny, and full of indomitable spirit, Sonnenblick whisks us through his 6th grade year. Each chapter is a short story that weaves together in Tom Sawyer fashion to create an incredible and inspiring adventure. 

I usually devour books like this, but I took my time with this one because I didn't want it to end. 

A must read.
