This book was required reading for my daughter who is in 7th grade.  She loves it so much that she has read it twice, and she recommended it to my son who is in 5th grade.  He loved it too, and they both begged me to read it.  It is an amazing book - a quick but emotional read that makes you appreciate everything you have.

My son is on the spectrum, but very advanced in his reading skills(He's in 1st, reading at almost a 4th grade level), when we can get him to pay attention to it. I had found a Locker ate Lucy at a store and gave it to him for his birthday, and after he finally picked it up and read it(in 2 or so hours no less), he was absolutely BEGGING me for the rest of the series. I got him this and one other one, as well as the first Dragon Masters, and he's begging for the rest already. It warms my heart to see such a love of reading instilled in my little guy. He's talking about the characters as if they are schoolmates of his, and I can't wait to afford the rest of the series.

My son started middle school (6th grade) this year and was required to read two books over the summer. This book was one on the list and he loved it and it only took about a week for him to read it.

Read it to the 2-5th grade classes coming in to our school library.  They loved the book (as do I) and some classes even applauded  :)

My son loved reading this book!  It can be difficult to find a book that my son will complete because the moment he finds it boring, he is done with it.  He couldn't put this book down!!!  We are looking forward to when the next book will be published.  The book is meant for middle to high school students, but my fifth grader did fine with it.  The only problem my son has with the book is that when he recommends it to his friends, they can't find it on the shelves at the book store.  Need to get the word out about this book!!!

My son had to read this book as an assignment for his fifth grade class. He usually HATES the books they make him read. But..... this time he enjoyed the book VERY MUCH! He says it's a must read for all 10-12 year old kids.

I bought this book for my son, 13 years old, but my daughter, a 3rd grader also use it for polishing her writing skill as well. All of us like it and give it 5 stars.

This book was recommended by our school counselor as an indroduction to the topic of puberty. The subject is tought in our 5th grade classes and we purchased several books the summer prior. It was a great way for my then 10 year old son to read on his own and then discuss with me (mom).Letting him become familiar with the subject matter at home and at his own pace was much more comforting to him. Regular bathing had started to become a sticking point and after ready a few of these books he announced that he was now going to "shower each morning, use deodorant and start using a face-wash".

I borrowed this audiobook from the library, just because I heard it was a good book, but I wasn't sure if my ten-year-old son would enjoy it also because it is about four girls, but he loved it so much that we bought the audio version of the two books that were out at the time and he was thrilled when a third book came out.  He is now twelve and chomping at the bit for the fourth book to come out.  He has listened to all three books many times and even read this book for school.  (I mention that he read the book, because he was a reluctant reader for the longest time and the fact that he was willing to read the book rather than listen to it told me that he really loved it.)  He sees himself as Jeffery in the book.

My son is 8 years old and really enjoyed reading this book. He is in second grade and could relate to the book and that increased his interest. I appreciated the fact that there were words used that he had to look up in a dictionary for expanding his vocabulary. This book is also an Accelerated Reader book.

My son (6th grade) and I just finished reading this book together.  We couldn't put it down.  It drew us in emotionally and we built a relationship with the characters.  My son has said it was his favorite book of all time.
