More than a cartoon

My Life as a Book left we with the same feeling that My Life as a Stuntboy did.    It is Diary of a Wimpy Kid...but it's more than that.  It's just so good and serious in parts and really, really awesome.  A large part of this book deals with the accidental drowning of a teenager.  I know...it seems weird.  How can that be in a cartoon book?  Well, it is and it is really well done.  Great book.  Can't wait for another.  This was the first and Stuntboy is the second.  Bring on the third! This book also introduced me to parkour, which I had never heard of before!
