Junie B. copies another student's homework and gets caught red-handed at it.
This was a good treatment of the issue of cheating for elementary school children. The plot wandered a bit, but got re-focused toward the end, and the responses of the adults in the story were firm, but gentle.
There was an interesting side-plot involving a lesson on poems, which included some cute examples of cinquains, along with a good friendship-affirming moment for Junie B.
There weren't as many laugh-out-loud jokes (although there was one really good one), as in some other installments in this series, and everything followed a pretty predictable path.
My son enjoyed reading this, but he's pretty much outgrown this series, so this is probably the last of them that we'll read.

I think this is a good book for everyone. No matter how old they may be.

Bad Junie B. Jones! Cheating is bad! We don't do that... Helping out friends with a worksheet and exchanging answers to the questions you can't figure out is not cheating. That's just what you have to do in school to get by sometimes. Just kidding! Not recommended.

Junie B. Jones has all the answers when it comes to cheating. It's just plain wrong!
But what about copying someone else's homework? That's not cheating, right? 'Cause homework isn't even a test! And speaking of tests what if a friend shares an answer that you didn't even ask for? Sharing definitely isn't cheating . . . is it?
Uh-oh. Maybe this cheating business is more complicated than Junie B. thought. Could she be a cheater pants and not even know it?
