Review of 'Ordinary Jack (Bagthorpes)' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Loved it as child, the humor was just right for me. Sadly, when I re-read it this year, it did not hold up. However, I decided to grade this book on my enjoyment of it as a kid, because, after all, it's a children's book.
(Also, is it just me, or was Jack's elusive talent obviously training animals? Am I the only one who thinks this?)
