This is a cute sweet and inspiring story about 4 kids whose paths intertwine because of a rude prank. I first read it in 4th grade as a book report and fell in love with the characters for being so different and unique, while still being relatable and having problems and perspectives I could understand, and after years and rereading it I still would recommend it.
One thing I'd mention would be that the POV changes every chapter, swapping between the 4 main characters. It took away from the story a bit at first because I'd get confused and sucked out of the story, but I got the hang of it quickly.
