sarah_brazenbookworm's review against another edition
Oof. I remember loving this book, and it was still a fun read for me. That said, it really shows its age and would not be a good read for most kids these days. Basically, there’s something to make almost every kid feel bad about themselves or the family: body-shaming, poverty, lack of education, etc.
