I bought this book to be our read aloud book at night and it has been a big hit among my entire family.  Even my oldest daughter (in middle school) thinks it is a fun read!  I really like the way the main character Billy is written.  It is really a coming of age story and like many kids Billy faces some tough choices while he takes his first steps towards adulthood.  It is nice to see him face ethical dilemmas and think through them until he ultimately makes the right choice - it is great modeling for the kids to see him face his challenges with courage.  The author does a great job of creating a whole new world - sort of reminiscent of a series that was a hit when I was a kid called "The Littles".  I really like the sock choosing as a way of choosing a mate - clever and cute!  This is a great family book and one that most elementary age kids could read on their own, too.
