I don't know why, but my mind wanders back to this book all the time. It was an assigned reading in the 8th grade and I STILL think about it.

I was really surprised how corny and badly written the dialogue was and how dated the book seemed, overall. Yet the kids read this in 7th LA and BOB and seem to like it, confoundingly.
