Death by Toilet Paper is an excellent book. Benjamin Epstein's father died of cancer a year ago. On his deathbed, Ben's father tells him that he must assume the responsibility of taking care of Ben's mother. Since then, Ben's grandfather, who has memory issues, has moved in, and they are all about to be evicted from their apartment for being too far behind on their rent. Ben tries many things to help with the finances including selling candy bars at school and entering as many sweepstakes as he can in hopes of winning the jackpot. Along the way, Ben learns a lot about himself, his family, and his friends. Each chapter begins with a factoid about toilet paper and toilet use. This was a wonderful story that I read in one sitting because it was so well written. The emotions in the story are very intense and realistic, making this book even that much better. ( )

I had a very difficult time getting into this book. I would definitely recommend to my younger readers. A cute book for a quick read. ( )

This light-hearted read was funny and touching. Ben is about to lose a lot. Not only can't he and his mom afford the good toilet paper, they no longer have a home phone and have an eviction notice outside their door.
Much of the book is a struggle to try to pay the rent while recovering from the loss of Ben's dad, adjusting to his grandpa moving in, and his mom's attempts to try to finish her CPA to get a good paying job. Ben is a sweepstaker, constantly entering contests that might get them something.
A quick, enjoyable read with a happy ending after the struggles. ( )
