Brad is a likeable character that I feel any middle schooler or advanced elementary school reader would love. While the adventures are pretty tame by today´s tv and movie standards, the book represents every day, real life in a compelling and suspenseful way. I recommended this book to my daughter (who is now a student teacher) for her middle school students as boys may identify with this young boy, Brad, and the dilemmas he faces. Well written, fast paced, entertaining.. And summed up by saying Funerals and Fly Fishing. Currently Funerals and Fly Fishing has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) claimed I start up the street toward my grandfather´s house. Just how weird is it that I, Brad Stanislawski, am walking toward a funeral home of my own free will?Where do you fit in when you´re oversized, underappreciated, and faced with a name like Stanislawski? Brad Stanislawski is looking forward to summer vacation, if only to get away from the classmates who make fun of his size (it´s not his fault he´s so tall) and his last name (Stan-is-lousy being their moniker of choice). So when Brad´s mother announces that she´s taking a summer vacation by herself and sending Brad across the country to stay with his estranged grandfather-who happens to be an undertaker-Brad thinks life couldn´t possibly get any worse. Still, as Brad ought to know, first impressions can be deceiving, and a name can hold a lot more than embarrassment. What exactly does it mean to be Brad Stanislawski? In this thoughtful, funny first novel, Brad (with a little help from his grandfather) is about to find out for himself.
