A very fun kids' book. This book knowingly (and even textually) admits a big debt to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but if there's room for more than one Willy Wonka in the world, Mr. Lemoncello is a fantastic second. This is the kind of book I've dreamed about writing-- a book-lover's ode to ...
Source: Library Robot Revolution is another great entry into one of my favorite fiction series for kids. I love House of Robots series for so many reasons. First off, it’s an accessible science fiction series for middle graders. Then there’s the fact that it features a family that is diverse both ...
Danny Boyle grew up in Sea Haven, NJ -- a tourist trap of a town on the Jersey Shore. He likes the life -- hanging out with the friends he's had since high school, goofing around, eating and drinking more than he should. He's got a nice Summer gig -- working as a Part-Time police officer. The downsi...
This book was very easy to read and I was very bored at the time which are the only reasons I finished it. A couple of our children's librarians told me Grabenstein was rude to them when he visited our library for an author's talk (there was some miscommunication about the equipment he needed and he...
As soon as I opened this book, I knew it was going to be super entertaining to read. Brooke Allen is a wonderful illustrator! All of the drawings absolutely cracked me up. Imagine a boy riding an alligator back to where it came from after he's lasso'd it with some bed sheets from a hotel. Pretty fun...
I'm not really the ideal audience for this book. Even when I was younger I didn't like these "wish-fulfillment" type stories -- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, The Candymakers, The Mysterious Benedict Society ... none of them did anything for ...
Yes! Yes! I finished it! This was a struggle.I loved, adored, the previous book. It had riddles, libraries, books, and so much more. This one however had terrible characters, it was boring, I found the way the kids (except for Kyle) knew everything EVERYTHING there was in the world if it was about b...
3.5/5 stars I really love how much this author has a thing for public libraries. His inclusion of the Dewey Decimal System, electronic gaming, banned books, librarian in charge and popular children's books are just one of the many things I love about this series. Its clear he knows his stuff and i...
Jacky-Ha-Ha is the story of a funny, sarcastic young girl trying to get through middle school. It's a book that is sure to make children laugh out loud but at the same time feel for what the character is going through. Jacky has a stutter but she hides it by being the class clown. When she gets o...
A solid sequel to Escape from Mr Lemoncello's Library. 1. I want to work at a library where only 288 books are returned over the course of a week. 2. Love the diverse cast of kids. 3. The books referenced in the story could have been more diverse. There are only three authors of color represen...
