Ionia FromentTop Contributor: Coloring5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018This is an interesting and fun look at the life of Derek and his friends before they became adults. It turns out, that even as a child, ‘Sweaty’ had a singular talent at finding himself in the oddest and sometimes most hilarious situations. The illustrations in this book go a long way toward keeping kids interested in the characters and the story itself is fun to read, broken down by chapter into different adventures.

My thirteen and fourteen year old kids liked this just as well as my eight year old twins. This book is one of those kinds of stories where you never know quite what to expect next, but you somehow know that it will be cringeworthy. Remember that story your grandparents used to tell you about having to walk to school, uphill, both ways in the snow. Yep, you will get something like that here for the younger generation to enjoy.

This was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to reading the next two.
