Who is George? Only Howard Carr and his older brother, Ben, can answer that question, because only they know about George. George is the funny little man who lives inside Ben, helping him (mostly) navigate life as a sixth grader who happens to be a scientific genius and who happens to be studying organic chemistry with students much older than he. One of those students is William Hazlitt, a senior who has been Ben's lab partner in previous years. William's interest in chemistry has taken a troubling turn, and Ben has a plan to come to his rescue. And that's when things get complicated -- for Howard, for Ben, and for George.… (altro)

i have always loved this book (

Very interesting topic for a children's book. I did find some of the dialog kind of stilted, but it was fascinating to see this mental illness addressed. I am an admirer of Konigsburg. I'm so impressed by the range of her writing. Very different books one from another. This was not my favorite of hers. (

I wonder where all the other editions of this are? ?�It was originally published in 1970... as one can guess just by looking at the inside illustrations....

Anyway, it's definitely still a relevant book. ?Ã¡Still subversive, still good for prompting conversations. ?Ã¡I, personally, love the ending... but some might not....Ben got to keep George, didn't get 'cured' -- I wish I had a George or at least that I could remember having an imaginary friend, but I was never creative....

Decidedly odd story of a young man who may be inhabited by his "concentric twin" or may be mentally ill. Konigsburg is an excellent writer who manages to present the viewpoint of Ben (within whom George lives) in a normal fashion. Ben's always had George, and that's just the way it is. The exploration of Ben's psyche and the story arc are done very well. It's the kind of book that pops into your head weeks and years later. The moral quandaries were painted with a pretty broad brush, though, and the wicked stepmother could be straight out of the Brothers Grimm. (

I read it because I wanted to be sure of its genre, & because an Amazon reviewer said it was disturbing & unsuitable for children. George is a little man who lives inside Benjamin. He’s really another personality of an academically talented boy who is studying organic chemistry with older students. A mystery develops concerning both chemistry and George.
