Summary: Outstanding!
Review: This book is an exciting look at an atypical fifth grade teacher and an an atypical fifth grade student. At first, the two cross paths in an adversarial manner. Then, they see things from the other's perspective and it changes each of them for the better. The book is educational (you learn about the First Amendment), exciting and very touching. Clements is a wonderful writer. My son and I loved this book.

Summary: Subject too difficult for younger children
Review: This book is targeted to children 8 - 12 per the back cover of the book (9-12 on this website). However, the main subject goes way over the head of the younger age category. My 9 year old daughter read this book and told me what it was about. I read the book and was surprised that she mentioned nothing about the Bill of Rights or the First Amendment, which is the major subject of the book.
