COMMUNITY REVIEWS
this is such a great book submitted by AbbyCalef on December 1, 2007, 4:59pm this is a great mid-teen book i love how the auther explains the part of the book in script text
a little hard to follow submitted by camelsamba on July 11, 2013, 6:44pm I found this a little hard to get into, and a little hard to follow initially because it frequently switches from 'real life' to Leo's daydreams. On the one hand, I wished those had been set off somehow (perhaps in italics? or indented?). But on the other hand, that is Leo's reality: he slips into daydreams. That's why one of his nicknames is fog boy. In the end, I decided the formatting was appropriate - but I think it might get confusing for a child reading this on their own.
