I liked this book!

Review by Eitan

How would you feel if you lost all of your money? I don't think it would be very fun. Death by Toilet Paper is a story about a boy, his mom, and his Zeyde and how they have to pay their rent in time to keep their apartment house. Will they be able to pay the rent with the help of Mrs. Shneckle? The book was emotional and it made me realize that there are people in this world who are struggling. I give this book 4 stars because I like how the author made me think.

Too much toilet paper

Review by goonieashley

This book was funny and a great story to read. My favorite part was when Ben made a toilet paper wedding dress for the costume competition.

Death by toilet paper

Review by heathernyc

It was good but not great and got a little boring sometimes, but it had a good plot.

My favorite so far

Review by CharlieZ

This has been my favorite PJ book so far. This book was about a kid who's mom didn't have much money. So he did a lot of contests for companies to earn money for his mom. I liked how he was creative and especially how he came up with slogans. There was more emotion in this story.
