Product Description

Angeline is brilliant! She knows way more than a child of her age ought to. When she is moved up a class at school she finds that her intelligence doesn't equip her entirely for dealing with the pressures of being with the older group. Soon she is finding refuge with a teacher and her tropical fish and another unlikely student. With Louis Sachar's hallmark twist-and-turns of plot and lovely humour, this delightful novel is thought-provoking and brilliant.

Customer Reviews

This book is amazing...
I am 15 years old and I read a huge amount. This is one of my favorite books of all time. It's incredible, and it gets better as you get older. Angeline, the heroine, is brilliant and charming. All she wants is to fit in, but she can't. Of coures, she finally does get the yummy end of the deal, but without compromising herself. And the middle...!!! of the book... I've read the Wayside School books and didn't like them half as much although they weren't bad.

The BEST Book I Have Ever Read!!!
This book is very funny in some parts. I like Goon and Mr. Bone. It is funny because the author mixes up names. Really neat!!!

Angeline is great!
Louis Sachar really did a good job on this book! The sequel with Garry as the star, Dogs Don't Tell Jokes, is good, too. Angeline did learn to fit in in the end. I thought this book was out of print because I only saw it in a used book store!
