 An adult review March 7, 2008
As a child this was among my favorite reads. Not only is it a heartwarming and inspiring tale, but it is just downright hilarious. Barbara Park is an unmatched talent amongst children writers. As a young adult I am still able to enjoy this book, and that's a real good sign.
God bless Barbara Park. I recommend all of her other books as well, but you should probably start here.
a classic December 8, 2007
This book is a must read for teachers of pre-teen boys. It captures their attention so well because it is all about their world. It is very entertaining and even your hestitant readers will love it!
awesome and funny August 8, 2007
This book is my all time favorite book. It is very interesting because it has a very good plot. Often I understood exactly how alex (the main character in skinnybones) felt. For example, when my friend popped a hole in a blow up chair, then I sat on it and it slowly made air come out of the chair and it made it look like I did it. I felt embarassed and stupid. The same thing happened to alex when he was playing a baseball game in front of a big crowd. Alex ran up to this kid named T.J and started poking him in the chest saying booga booga. Alex got so embarassed he ran home and never wanted to say the words booga booga again. This book also has other good characters. There's not one thing I don't like about this book. I say if you want a book you can enjoy and have fun with, I'd choose skinnybones.
 A Kid's Book Review April 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a really good book and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Also, if you like comedy books this would be a fine book to read. One part that made me laugh is when Alex lies about the kitty fritters. Alex is the main character in the book. He is known for lying. So if you like books with people lying in it, this is a good book for you.

This book is so funny it's about a boy name Alex. He wants to be the class clouwn.Alex isn't what you'd call a teacher's pet. That's where a boy name TJ comes in. He is a baseball player and he's very good. You should read this book because it is so good as you read it, you can imagine what is happening in your head.
