Reader reviewed by Jennifer F.

    This book is about 2 kids, Lorraine and John, who are misfits. What they do for fun is they do prank calls and Lorraine picks Angelo Pignati, who is a lonely old guy looking for friends. So he takes the kids shopping and lets them stay over like their his own kids. The book was a well written book. The way its written from a first person point of view of both the main characters. The part about them being misfits is a big point in the story.
    One of the main points in the story are that John and Lorraine are misfits. Thats big because the reason they do what they do is because theyre misfits and you wouldnt understand why they do the things they do if you didnt know they were misfits. Another main point is the bond between Angelo and the kids. Angelo had lost his wife,Conchetta, so hes lonely and the kids sort of cheer him up so he doesnt feel as bad.
    Lorraine is a misfit because she doesn't have a father and John is a misfit because he doesn't have a bond with his father and he drinks. The fact that John and Lorraine are misfits throughout the story is a key point in understsanding the book. They are not like everybody else. For example, when John was talking to Norton about the pigman, Norton wanted to know what was in his house to see if there was any thing worth taking and John was being protective of the pigman so he told him nothing.
    Overall in the story, John and Lorraine are misfits, and the bond between the kids and Mr.Pignati was very interesting and kind of sad. In conclusion, I think this was a good book and I recommend it to anyone interested in reading a good book.
