This is such a fun book! I love reading juvenile literature, and this book was a hilarious choice. While the story is a fantastical journey of epic (to a kid!) proportions, the dialogue will ring true to the book's intended target market.

It's also a book perfect for those who like to (even secretly) root for the underdog. Who doesn't want to win against the bully, save the day, and look cool while doing it? There are bullies you love to laugh at (Big Bobby Boom and his sidekicks Booker and Biff) and funny, unlikely heroes Elliot and Jimmy, who really had better watch what they're doing or they might get hurt saving the day.

The book starts off with a bang and keeps up a rapid pace all the way to the ending -- no slow starts or dead bits here. I hope the book gets a wide readership and is picked up by a larger publishing house (right now it's published by an independent Canadian press).

A quick read, great for the adolescent (and adult who perhaps got picked on one to many times in school) -- try this one out!
