What a great little book! It didn't take me long at all to whip through this one at just 180 pages. Just a touch of humor, some quirky characters, and an endearing conclusion that brought it all together. I loved how Georges and Safer know from the very beginning that they are the perfect friends for each other. Even though they know that, it still takes them time to understand each other. Things slowly unravel in this great and magical way. The side story of bullying is a common theme these days and I liked how it was resolved. The main theme- seeing the big picture as opposed to many little dots all put together- was magic in this story. I wish this book had been around when I was in 8th grade. A real treat to read this!
