This was interesting and funny. I liked the story but didn’t enjoy the time jumps. The scenes would would flow normally then forward at random times which was jarring trying to figure out what was going on It was strange reading this as an adult since this was written for middle school me. I think I would have enjoyed it more then.

A humorous book that deals with situations Pitt gets himself (and others) into. Like the book says, the boy doesn't have much strength, but tries to make up for it through goofy brainstorming and funny ideas.
