The Boy Who Lost His Face

Sachar is a good author for young people. His writing is interesting and his stories are more than entertaining. The only issue we (parents) had with this story was that there was more inappropriate language in the story than we were really comfortable with. I guess it is really for a slightly older child. My son is 8 and we liked the story a lot - but some of the language was for older children or teenagers. We just finished reading this and now I need to find a new book! :)

Oh, Louis Sachar, you are my soulmate. I've loved you since I was in 3rd grade and read Someday Angeline. I'm 32 now, and I still get a kick out of these jokes. The man is brilliant, people! He should get a Nobel peace prize and his own holiday.About this book in particular, I have two sons. The oldest is 6, and I'm feeling like the content is too mature to read it to him so far, but I'm looking forward to the day he is ready. I loved the characters and just how the story was told. Many times, it's not what happened that was so funny, but the thoughts going through the main character's head about what happened that had me cracking up.

I love Sachar's books!. I was hesitant to but this one as I had read the reviews and heard the language was a little racy. I decided that my son was already hearing many of the words at school and it would be a good opportunity to gage his exposure. Well, I was right! My son was not new to the words in the book and even had some extra words he could question me about!! The book was an excellent starting point for bad behavior and bad words common to 4th and 5th graders. I would not say don't read the book; but I would say let your kids only read it with you!. Great learning can occur as well as lessons of empathy, peer pressure and what real friendship means.

Louis Sachar is a great writer, and this book is by far his best. Some of his others are more famous (like Holes), but do yourself a favor and read this one. And don't let the language nannies dissuade you: the bad words are there for a reason, and very tastefully handled.

My granddaughter loved the book

That was super funny lol's all around. I was confused with the grade they were in it is good :)

Really intriguing.. An amazing book, I found the curse hilarious. Really recommended for all ages and everyone who just loves a good story.

My 10 yr old grand daughter loves these books. Even the schools recommend them.

Buena lectura para niños.

This outstanding book is not only entertaining and unbelievably funny, it is much more than that. I have learnt a lot from this educational read, it was so fascinating and well written and the twist at the end certainly took me by surprise. As soon as I sank into it, and it didn't take me long, I couldn't stop reading. I wouldn't recommend in to people under the age of ten, I don't think they would appreciate it nearly as much, mainly because of some of the language used. However, it is a great book for both adults and children. The first one I read was a boy in the girls bathroom and that definitely did it for me. Reading that amazing book leered me into the series and it won't take me long to get through the series. If you are looking for a good book to get into, a funny and unexpected read then don't just read the reviews, read the book because there is not a dull moment and you won't be able to wait to start reading again!

大親友が、彼らと一緒だとクールだと思われる！という仲間を連れてきた。その仲間と一緒にお婆さんに悪戯をして呪いの言葉をかけられる。それから悪い事ばかり。仲間からもクールじゃないと追い出されるし、好きな女の子の前で恥はかくし...それは呪いのせいなのか？ただ彼が本当に負け犬なのか？好きな女の子をデートに誘えるのか！彼の成長を応援しながら読みました。

According to my two children (girl, 9, boy 11) this is the best book they've EVER read! They've also read all of his other books - which they loved - but this is by far their favourite. I think all of his books are wonderful; easy to read, socially aware, thought provoking and funny! I struggled to fill the gap once we'd read all the Roald Dahl, David Walliams type stuff but Louis Sachar has been a lifesaver!

Es de los mejores libros que he leído en toda mi vida.Muy recomendable para niños adolescentes y no tan adolescentes
