thi sbook is a very dull book.It doesn't catch my inters.But to other it may be funny.
Annemarie, 13 (02/27/03)

I read the book twice. The first time it was a little confusing. Then the second time I understood much more. I thought it had a great message and its a great book for someone with a low self esteem. I admire Zinkoff greatly for how he handled all the things he went through. Zinkoff reminds me of my sister. She is an average student but is always happy. She doesnt care about winning or losing. As for me I usually great striaght A's,however I often have depression. I guess life shouldn't be about being perfect, it should be about happiness.

I hope Zinkoff becomes a wonderful, friendly mailman some day :)

This book is excellent. I recommend it to kids in fourth and fifth grade. It's about the importance of accepting others that are different than YOU! It is also about finding out what makes you special.
