"These are the unsaid things that go on inside kids' brains." --Rosie, age 11 "Twisted, revolting, and hilarious." --Randy Powell, author of Is Kissing a Girl Who Smokes Like Licking an Ashtray? "I suggest you read this book." --Tristan, age 14 "The narrative sparkles with wit and . . . rings with the authenticity of adolescent humor, embarrassment, and fascination with the absolutely gross . . . Zany characters, good pacing, lots of humor, and a touch of romance make this a quick, fun read." --School Library Journal "Enough descriptive disaster to satisfy youngsters looking for a gross-out . . . Good solid writing, and a bizarre plot that even reluctant adults can't help but appreciate." --The Horn Book
