Fun and instructive

This is the story of a girl who wanted to be a boy, and could even pretend to be one when she had the opportunity. I read the story with my 11 year old son who enjoyed it a lot. He could relate easily to all the things that Joanie was attracted to, and was intrigued by the fact that a girl could be interested by them. I think this story changed his perception of the girl/boy typical model. I must say that I enjoyed it a lot myself!
Really Great

I hang out with boys sometimes, so I know how Joanie feels about being treated like a GIRL. It's like sharing a secret with her when you hear about how she keeps her mom from knowing at school,she's a boy. All the things about Amigo's sickness are actually a little scary,but the SuperKid stories make up for that. I don't think boys will envision this as a "girl" book at all.
