Reviews
"Weissman secures her spot next to the great 'school story' writer, Andrew Clements."
"A lot of kid appeal with substance."
- The Horn Book
"This is the type of story that will keep you in stitches."
"Frothy and fun...Many young readers will find a reason to smile on nearly every page."
- Booklist
"Weissman has a lot of fun with her two Marks--as will readers."
"Comedy of Errors-type confusion and genuine character exploration...Readers who've enjoyed Andrew Clements's conceptual school stories will relish the identity exploration here, and they'll inevitably end up on Google hunting for their own name doubles."
