Product Description

Product Description

CURSED! David was only trying to be cool when he helped some other boys steal an old lady's cane. But when the plan backfires, he is the one whom she 'curses'. Now David can't seem to do anything right. The cool kids taunt him and his only friends are weirdos. He even walks into Spanish class with his fly unzipped! And when he finally gets his nerve up to ask out a cute girl, his trousers fall down midway! But is this the curse at work or is David turning into a total loser? Another witty and very clever tale by the master storyteller Louis Sachar. Other titles in this series are THERE'S A BOY IN THE GIRLS' BATHROOM and DOGS DON'T TELL JOKES.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. Buy it!, 17 Aug 2002
By Chris Jordan (St. Albans, HERTS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Boy Who Lost His Face (Paperback)
This is another amusing book by Louis Sachar that you can't put down. I read it in a day because it's a fantastic read and the storyline is great. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is starting a Louis Sachar collection, although I preferred There's a Boy In The Girls Bathroom. The Boy Who Lost His Face is about a boy who got dragged into a dare and got cursed, this may sound boring but it has a twist at the end which will leave you fooled and saying 'why didn't I think of that?' Once you have read this review I hope you will buy it and get other books in the Louis Sachar collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cursed!!!, 11 Mar 2006
This review is from: The Boy Who Lost His Face (Paperback)
This is a great book, it is funny and once you start to read it is hard to put the book back down!!! This is another fantastic book from Louis Sachar!!! I am a 12 year old and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I would recommend this book for 10 year olds - 15 year olds. I have now told all my friends to buy this book as it is a great read and describes the life of a child in high school very well!
This book is about a boy who wants to become more popular so he decides to burgle an old lady. After that everything in his life seems to go wrong and he believes he is cursed. But at the end of the book there is a strange, unexpected twist!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great from beginning to end., 8 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Boy Who Lost His Face (Paperback)
I still feel that Louis Sachar's best book is "The Boy Who Lost His Face". It really describes what a 7th grader/8th graders life is like very well. Though many people say that the cuss words are the downside...true, they are in a way. But in other ways it shows how realistic the book is. Many parents think that it will inspire kids to curse, but it won't its helping you or your kids to understand that cursing is not the right way to go. And that being cool doesn't matter. I think that this is for kids 12 and up because it tells aboout some things that younger children aren't ready to hear or know yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return of Sachar
From the genius behind 'Holes' and 'There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom', this is another lighthearted read with a subtle but important message. Great ambiguous title too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some bad language, but REALLY funny!

1.0 out of 5 stars Graphic language - Not for elementary students!
Totally inappropriate! Not only is the language graphic and repeated often, the scene where the boys are ogling pictures of naked 9-yr. old girls is very offensive. Read more
