This was my favourite book for the longest time. Yes, yes, I was at that beautiful age when I had a favourite book, but that's beside the point. I read this again, recently, and I'm glad to say that my opinion of it hasn't changed. While it's not my favourite book of all time anymore (you know how it is, the older you are, the more books you've read, the harder it is to play favourites), it still deserves five stars, and for every pre-teen/teenager to read it. No, scratch that. Adults will love it, too. It's smart, funny in a very..odd way, and you can't help but fall in love with Mosca.

Brilliant bit of writing. Beautifully thought-out characters. I need to get me a goose.
