This review was originally published on my other blog in 2007.
At least I can say about this book that the main character isn't as
bad as the one in Exploits (reviewed recently), although at one point
towards the end of the book, their voices sounded remarkably similar.
The
clever thing about this book is the layout. It looks like it is
written and illustrated on lined paper, just as if it really were taken
from a diary. The pictures are crude, but appealing in a way. The
story isn't a strong one - it is more like a series of middle school
vignettes, but the book will appeal to kids who don't really like to
read that much and they can just let the cartoonish pictures draw them
along.
Not especially memorable, but relatively harmless.
