This had a moral, an entertainment side, and a serious side. Very funny.

Raj was my favourite character.
You need to stick with this story as it was a bit slow to start and then it got good.

My favourite character is boy in the dress because I think its funny when he wears a dress.

I like the character Dennis as he likes other stuff that other people might make fun of him for and he is not afraid to show that to Lisa
I would recommend it to others as it is a very interesting story and it teaches you that whatever you want to do you can do it

It was funny. The boy misses his mum who left. In the book he started wearing a dress to school and as it went on, nearly all the boys and men in the book are wearing dresses.

It was really interesting because Dennis would like to try on a dress

Lisa was my favourite character because she had lots of pretty dresses. I would rate this book as 3/5.

Funny

30 Oct 2023

A short, sweet story with friendships that I thought provided a very good model for young readers. Unfortunately I felt that the constant almost-fatphobia and the strange section at the end where the protagonist and his friend blackmail the headteacher take away from the story's positive messages (finding your identity, self-expression, self-acceptance, etc.).

I liked Deniss the best because he is the best striker in the school.

24 Sep 2023

I liked this book because it was funny and made me laugh a lot

04 Sep 2023

My favourite character was Lisa because she opened Dennises eyes to fashion and fun. I would recommend this book because it’s light-hearted fun.

03 Sep 2023

this was admittedly funny but the best part is when the whole team come out in dresses and drive the head teacher mad. And when he dresses in one too.

03 Sep 2023

03 Sep 2023

I like how the boy wears a dress and fools everyone and then they all play football wearing dresses.

02 Sep 2023

I enjoyed this book because I like David Williams books. In the book it shows that boys can wear girls clothes and girls can wear boys clothes.

02 Sep 2023

Dennis walked through the playground in a yellow sparkling dress with heels he could not walk in. It was so funny and embarrassing at the same time.

Amazing funny book but a bit weird.
