1: NO STARS for PORNO & STRIPTEASE!!!!!!
I bought this book for my 11 year old daughter. She's an avid reader -- books delight her and cause her to get in trouble when she's supposed to be sleeping or getting ready for school.
She was reading this past sleepy Sunday afternoon and asked me what "porno" and "striptease" means. WHAT?! Where did my ELEVEN year old child learn these words? She turned to pages 140-141 of Jack on the Tracks and there they were! I am deeply disappointed in an author who feels these are suitable words to use in a CHILD'S book.
Please keep in mind that I am a very open parent. When my child asks me what lesbian means or the true details of how babies are made, I don't hesitate. But how on earth do I explain porno and striptease to an 11 year old? I shouldn't have to at her age!!!

2: PCE Student Review
My favorite book is JACK ON THE TRACKS written by JACK GANTOS. It is an autobiographic fiction book about a boy's troubles in 5th grade. My favorite character is
Miss kitty II. I like her because it thinks it is a dog & it knows how to skim board.
The author writing style is humor & time elapse of 5th grade. Why I like it because
I am in 5th grade & there is a lot I can relate to like his troubles. For example he has a killer cat & so do I & his friends are crazy & so are mine. This is a good book for a 5th
Grader.

5: The wack jack
Jack on the Tracks is a funny book . If you enjoy anything funny then this is a good book to read . My favorite part is when Jack was watching the news and lightningstruck their t.v. Jacks mom was screaming her head off while smoke was coming out of their t.v. Or when his cat froze to death because it got stck in the freezer.If anyone enjoys a good laugh I would recommend this book to them .
