SRP 2012 REVIEW: This book is excellent because it gives an good portrayal of a dwarf named Georgie. Georgie has a hard life, both physically and mentally because he is so small and he can't really fit into society and the people around him. The author does a fantastic job of accurately describing Georgie's feelings and what happens throughout his 4th grade life. Great read for all ages.

SRP 2010 REVIEW: I think this book is one of the good Reality books. It takes someones life and puts in a different twist. All of this can be true but is not. If you like fantasy you may or may not like this book. But even so its really good.
