When Life Gives You O.J. is an excellent book for two reasons: it actually captures the idea of childhood and it has references with all crazy, funny, bossy, sarcastic Grandpa's!

it was not the best cuz it stalls forever

This book is very... how do I say this? Yiddish. It just has all the aspects of a Yiddish story. It has the people (obviously Jewish), the random interspersing of Yiddish words, and the crazy idea (read it to find out... all I will say is orange juice cartons are involved)! Also... DOGS! DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG! The thought of a "practice dog" is silly enough in itself, but having an orange juice carton as the "practice dog" is even more hilarious.

This book is about a girl who pretends an orange juice carton is her dog. It is fun to read about her making new friends and connecting with family all because of O.J. This is a great book!!!

DO NOT READ!!!!!!
