I wish all the Calvin Coconut books were like this one (but I think it probably needed the seven books before to get the story to this point). There are more continuity issues in this one. It sounds like Ledward started dating Calvin's mom very shortly after Calvin's dad left, but in the first book ...
This one was better than the last two. I enjoyed the story a lot and it felt mostly believable. There were more continuity issues in this book. Calvin Coconut's dad (Little Johnny Coconut) had a hit song. In the first book it was "A Little Bit of La-la-la-love" and in this book it’s "I Love Sunshine...
Again, a Calvin Coconut book with an unbelievable plot point. Most of the book was pretty good, but I don't believe that fight would be enough to make a kid transfer (maybe I'm insensitive to the problems kids face in school these days... or maybe I've read way better books that deal with bullying?)...
This series is really up and down for me. One of the main plot points in this one is so unbelievable. Also there's a lack of consistency between the books. Ledward was originally half Hawaiian, half a bunch of other things. Now he's half Hawaiian, half Filipino. Clarence was described as Samoan the ...
"Half the girls were making faces. Some were covering their ears. They not only didn't want to smell bad stuff, they didn't even want to hear about it." That's how I felt reading this book. The story isn't bad, but I just didn't find it interesting. It edges the line of too gross for me. I bet the i...
These books are growing on me (though I'm not a fan of Stella). I don't have much to say about this one other than I generally liked it (and there have to be better insults out there than "crippled ant").
I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The story was more interesting and seemed to fit a nine-year-old protagonist. I do find it weird that Salisbury never mentions anyone taking off their shoes inside the house (and some of the illustrations even show people wearing shoes inside, but those c...
I didn't have the highest hopes for this book, but I still feel disappointed. I love that the books are set in Kailua and that Calvin is a mixed kid. The writing was redundant at times though (malasada doughnuts, spicy hot kimchee, etc). And there were some weird references that reminded me a haole ...
I think this would make a wonderful book to read to a child. Great suspense with an excellent story line captures the focus of a group of boy scouts out in a remote part of an island. They’re enjoying the scenery, settling into the rustic routines that will be a part of their lives for the next few ...
He is the Bamboo Rat, he has no basic training; no training whatsoever, for Zenji is the perfect spy. He plays his part to a T, for when things get out of control he knows nothing, he has no rank in the military, he is not a soldier, he is a civilian hired by the military to translate Japanese. Bein...
