My boys loved it!
It is full of humor and great points to ponder.
Everyone in the narrator's town fears and despises the Herdman children. They terrorize everyone they meet and rule the public school. When someone brags about the teacher serving snack in Sunday School, the Herdmans invade the only place where everyone can be free from them, church. That Sunday just happens to be the one the Christmas pageant and its parts are announced. The Herdmans demand to have the lead roles and everyone, especially Alice Wendelken, knows the pageant will be a disaster.
*Highly recommend. (See warnings.)
Warnings/points to discuss: Imogene smokes cigars (an illustration of her smoking them), arson, lying, a character mentions that the Herdmans just talk about "sex and underwear"
