"I have read this book to my class in the past as a read aloud. I can tell they enjoy it because the students always wanted me to continue reading to see what would happen next. It is a funny book, and the main character is very relatable. I also love the message of integrity at the end, with the lesson being that you should be good even if no one else watching."
