Gaby says that this book is good because Oscar wants to get rid of his brother Roberto. So Oscar writes a letter to the Hersons to see if they want to adopt Roberto.

Love, love, loved this book when I was in maybe the fourth grade, even though I was the youngest sibling. :-)

I read this book so many times when I was younger. It would just make me laugh and laugh every time I read it.

When I was in sixth grade I wrote to Barbara Park as part of a class assignment, telling her how much I liked her books and how funny I thought she was. She wrote me back a nice note. I sure wish I still had that.

Barbara Park makes an excellent comic debut in this book (it wasn't the first Barbara Park book to be published, but it was the first that she submitted for publication). The story is somewhat different from what she has written in the late '80s and beyond, but the humor is of the highest quality, with many distinctly memorable moments. A recommended read.

This book made me laugh out loud so much, I thought it was hilarious. Actually, I still think it's hilarious. The main character was scheming to get his kid brother away to summer camp. I think I may have to re-read this again as an adult.

It's been a while since I've read this book. Seems like I didnt like it when I read it. Can't remember what the book was about though. Guess it didn't make an impression on me.
