Then Mr. Pignati surprising come home early and orders every one out of the house. John and Lorraine was token home by the cops. The next day when they try to get in touch with Mr. Pignati and ask him to go to the zoo.

I thought the book was good not really my kind of book but it was very interesting I think it is a book worth reading and one that should be recognized. Also it gives a good lesson on life.

This is a good book about how a nice old man who they thought might have been a weirdo and starts a good friendship. Who spent his money on them like nobody has before and really cares about them. And teaches them a good lesson about it how you make your life.

I really think everyone should read this book. I really like it and think it teaches a great lesson about life. And how you should respect older people and the lesson they have to share. Also I think more people should do tech step because it is very simple to use.
