My opinion of the novel is that it is funny and at the end a little emotional. I think that because, grandma is funny but at the end Joey goes to the army. My favorite part of the book is when grandma, Joey and Marry Alice went fishing on private property. I think that because, grandma found the sheriff drinking. My least favorite part is when grandma put the mouse in the milk. I think that because, it was a short and boring part of the book. I would rate the book five stars.
