Okay, who sneaked in and planted listening devices in my house? I swear that somehow Ms. Frank has been listening in on comments made by my husband of 40 years and that's where she got the inspiration for this book. Not only is Wesley a bad imitation of my husband (all his faults but none of his virtues) but I actually believe that I have heard the same words attributed to Wesley come out of my husband's mouth.
This story was so much fun - I laughed so hard at times that I actually cried. I was proud of Leslie for standing up for herself and showing that it's never too late to stand up to a bully.

I loved this one! Can't wait for her next book. I think it's due out in June or July.
