Reviews

Bruce Coville I loved Doug Cooney's "The Beloved Dearly, " which was one of the freshest, funniest books I had read in years. "I Know Who Likes You" is just as delightful, a delicious romp that had me laughing out loud as I raced through its pages. Ernie, Swimming Pool, and Dusty are terrific characters, and it was great to see them back in action. Doug has a knack for portraying kids who are real but quirky, creating a kind of contemporary Our Gang that any red-blooded kid would be thrilled to hang out with.
