    This book did have humorous passages throughout it, but I felt that it was written for preteens instead of teens. The reason is because I felt that middle schoolers would enjoy it as another slice-of-life high school book since they have not yet experienced high school yet.

    I found the characters to be somewhat unrealistic, but I think the author did this on purpose to exaggerate their personalities and give humor to the book. It was a fast paced book with lots of laughs, but it still contained a moral and a happy ending. The plot was somewhat original, but I feel like I’ve read this style many times before. So while I definitely enjoyed the book, I don’t think it was unique enough to win the Printz award.
