    My mom read me this book when I was in first grade and only this book because I refused to read any other ones and that was because I really loved this book and the simple drawings it had. Although I did hate one thing about it and it was the back cover, the back cover is Shel Silversteins creepy face. Seeing that made me have nightmares so I covered it with black crayola marker.

    My second grade teacher read us this book at the beginning and the end of the year, I did not understand the books meaning or why she did that but looking back at it I think she was trying to leave something with us and that is that I am in control of my life, but I got this.

    I had stolen this book from my sister when I was 9, this book is about a girl who got her braces and coincidentally I had first gotten my braces that year and this book just really helped me through it all because I saw through a character that I am not alone.

    My 6th grade teacher read this book to my classroom and I despised it, I loved reading time but this book made me hate it, the vocabulary was so advanced I understood nothing and nobody in my class did either. To this day I have no idea what that book was even about.

    I read this when I was 11 and I loved it. It taught me a lot and it was one of the few books that actually made me cry so I definitely remember this one.
