I love how this story is so character-driven. Each child is depicted with a realistic personality and believable dialogue. The story is a bit younger than I remember (the kids are in fifth grade), but I thought their interactions with each other and their teachers were age-appropriate. I'm convinced the teacher who made all the fuss about the O Group not being allowed to have the book and then questioning them sternly about it when it was missed had plotted the whole thing from start to finish. And the culminating scene, of the O Group leading a campaign against the disgusting school lunches, shows that words have the power to effect change, and it doesn't matter how old you are if you have an idea to make things better.
This is a fun little story and one that I will be sure to share with my children. Recommended. ( )
