Great book. Sharon M Draper is a great author. Came a day early and is a good book to read any time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful read for youth, parents, and teachers!

Double Dutch addresses several issues that prevail in the school and home environments of our children: friendships, bullying, social isolation, the effects of natural disasters/phenomena, extracurricular activities, parental involvement, and learning disabilities. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel as the characters remind me of kids I knew as a middle-school student. Delia's "secret" is also not very far-fetched as other reviewers have suggested; I have witnessed similar scenarios during my years in grade school and among some of my young relatives. Double Dutch inclines readers (children, parents, coaches, teachers, etc.) to increase or adjust their observations of others as students and other stakeholders in their educational and personal journeys work together towards success. I strongly recommend this book, especially to anyone involved in education!
