I thoroughly enjoyed Boy when I first read it last year, and I looked forward to the opportunity of discussing it with a student. When my fifth-grade pupil reacted rather negatively to the beginning of Phineas Gage] we switched gears, and moved to Dahl's brief autobiography instead. After reading a few of his Revolting Rhymes, my student was very interested to learn more about the poet and children's author, and was both amazed and a little terrified of some of his experiences. Overall, I think it made for a good learning experience, and certainly seemed to be at the right level for this 4th/5th grader
