Then Again, Maybe I Won’t by Judy Blume was a funny, and very stressful book to me. By stressful, I mean that a boy named Tony has so many problems that it actually made me mad.

Tony was a regular boy; regular friends, regular school, and a regular neighborhood. But when his brother’s wife got pregnant, it all changed. You see, Tony’s brotherr and his wife could not afford having a child, so Tony’s father, Mr. Miglione started working really hard on one of his inventions, to try and help pay for the baby that was soon to come. And, as luck had it, the Miglione family sold that invention and became rich! But Tony doesn’t want to leave his old newspaper route, his old friends, and Jefferson Middle School behind. But still, they move to a new, richer town. When Tony moves in, he meets a boy named Joel next door. And he has a sixteen year old sister too. Tony has a crush on Lisa, Joel’s sister, and he gets really frusterated when she goes out on dates with older guys. He is thinking, “No, Lisa! Pick me! I am better than that big guy!” That is problem number two. Problem number three is that Tony thinks Joel shoplifts. And, to add to the list, his Grandma refuses to come out of er room upstairs because the family won’t let her cook anymore, and that’s her favorite thing. Tony’s parents, and life has changed. They keep on spending money like there’es no tomorrow. WIl Tony ever go back to his normal life? Will he ever confront Joel about the whole stealing thing? Will Lisa realize that Tony’s enough for her?

To find out read, Then Again, Maybe I Won’t.

I would reccomend this book to boys, because it has some stuff thaet girls might not do, but I enjoyed it so much I read it in a day. And this is for sixth graders and up I would say, because there are a few parts in it which are not for younger children.

 READ IT!
