Ok, I confess at first I was really annoyed with this book. Seriously, how many middle school novels have I read when two best friends are suddenly at odds after the summer or vacation or something? One becomes interested in boys, clothes, being popular and the other one is left out. And yes, that is the basic premise of this story. So what makes it different? Well, Karma's mustache for one. Funny and embarrassing and ultimately the basis for a life lesson. Having Karma be part Indian made the story a bit more interesting as well. I wish there had been more with certain characters - particularly David. Overall, to be honest, middle school kids enjoy these types of books because it does represent their lives and struggles so this wasn't all bad :)
