I loved this book because, not only is it adventures and just a fun book well it's also funny. My favorite part was when Frankie Joe found out about the Snowflake Prince and Princess for 5th grade, and that his step brothers running for it. I liked that part because, It was the first time that Frankie Joe and his step brother were actually nice to each other, and it was also funny. If I could rank this book 1-10 I’d probably say a 9 because , even though it was a funny out-going book It didn’t have all the details a really good book would have. -Ellie
