Want to Read a Great Book?
I liked the Janitor's Boy because it is a down-to-earth story that I can relate to. Also because when John joined the army he survived the foot combat. I think it's great that Jack loves his dad so much even though his friends make fun of his dad because he's a janitor. I think it's funny that he hates Bubblelicious gum so much since he has to scrape it off of the chairs, desks and tables at the school. It's a great book that I'm really enjoying reading. Thanks.
