I've just been on a re-reading spree lately, and when I was little, Andrew Clements was absolutely one of my favourite authors. 

I think as a child, I would have likely rated this book higher, but because it's definitely not meant for teens, my rating reflects that. I wish the story had been longer and more developed.

However, it does tackle some heavy topics in a way that is very vulnerable and true; I think it's a really great book for kids.
