Ah, yes, now I remember why I read this several times in fourth grade, after getting it for free at school as a prize for accumulating a certain number of Reading Counts points (if I recall correctly).

I think a lot of the humor went over my head when I was nine, though. It was funnier than I remembered. Rather farcical, actually.

Even with me knowing exactly what was going to happen, the book still managed to keep me in suspense, which I'd say is a point in its favor. And that was an awkwardly worded sentence.

The entry under this specific ISBN has some messed-up metadata, but so it goes.
