Title: Unequivocally awful
Product review: This was a truly terrible story of a boy who idolizes his stepfather only to learn that the stepdad is not honest. So what does the boy do? Crushed, he goes along, having no real choice, according to the author's telling. A generous reading would call this book amoral; I think bad is more accurate. So the point is? Kids who are better than their parents should go down with them? Let's get our kids really depressed and cynical? Let's let kids think it's okay to accept dishonesty, if it means not upsetting people? That it's okay to cheat? I want my money back.
