"Okay, I got one. Would you rather live every day for the rest of your life with stinky breath, or lick the sidewalk for five minutes?" Noodle asked. He turned and looked at me with a huge grin on his face because he knew this was a tough one.

    I love both of those excerpts. You can hear the author's sense of humor in the writing style. Wonderful! Enjoy.

    I have this book in my library but I haven't read it. I must pick up one of Jason Reynolds' books to read.

      You can choose location 56% on your Kindle, but are always welcome to improvise from 5% or 6%. Also to see approximately which page you are on, when reading in Kindle press the menu button. It brings up a highlight of how far you are. Just press back to make it disappear again. I hope this helped and hope to see you join in!

    I'm still busting a gut from the crocheted 'gun-cozy'.

    For myself, I'd choose the life-long stinky breath. You can always use mouthwash. But there's nothing that will make what's on the sidewalk any better.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
