A review by timna_wyckoff
Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos

3.0

Read for 3rd grade book club. At times hilarious, at times poignant, there were lots of small stories (semi-autobiographical) that I enjoyed about Jack Gantos and his adventures during the summer he was grounded for two months. But, the fictional story added on top to give narrative arc (I think) was too much of a stretch for my taste. And, the ending left something to be desired.
