My two older sons have read and really enjoyed the book. It's been required reading in many 4th/5th grade classes around here. It's definitely a book that parents should be aware of, especially since it's such a departure from Sachar's "Sideways School" books. Much deeper and touches on a lot of serious things. We heard a lot of questions and "I can't believe..." comments while they read the book.
Definitely worth the read, especially these days.
