Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary D. Schmidt

This was cute with an undertone of heavy. I’m not going to say that I didn’t enjoy the cricket, because it was interesting, but I will say that I’m perplexed as to why it was chosen to be highlighted in this way. The Butler is a great almost Mary Poppins style character but he seemed overly stereotypical. I mean we live in the 21st century and he’s still saying a lady can’t walk the dog and acting like pizza is a new invention (and a crime against food).
