I just read this book. I started it around 5 this after noon at finished around 7 so it' not too hard a read, it isn't teeny but it's not a week long book.
This is a book about a boy, David, who's only 9 years old. He's moved from Minnesota to live his grandmother who he's convinced he hates. His life has gone downhill. His mother has died. He refuses to follow any of his grandmother's rules. Instead, he follows every other rule that he could possibly think of in the hopes that his mother will come back to him. She died because someone had forgotten to put up the WET FLOOR! sign and she slipped and died. Since that person didn't follow a rule, he will try and follow all rules in hope to bring her back.He meets Primrose who hates her mother and doesn't have a father. They hate each other but are practically inseparable. An odd pair they make.
I have to say, I was the one in my family who my mom had bought this book for but I never really bothered reading it because I thought it looked boring. Now that I've actually read the book, it's not as bad as I had originally assumed. I would say I expected it to be really boring but then it wasn't and I even cried every few chapters.
I would recommend this book to people who are looking for a sweet, short book about a boy and a teenage girl.
I would rate this book 7.8/10 not because it was bad or anything like that at all. It's just that some of the things that happened were kind of weird or boring or something. I guess they made sense with what the author was trying to do but I still didn't exactly like some of the concepts. The ending was nice, I feel like it could have been a teensy bit better but that's okay.
