My favorite book club buddies are back with their latest round of reviews. Looks like we had two hits and a miss, folks. After striking out with Jude last time, I hit it outta the park with a book that made his Captain-Underpants-loving heart scream for more pages. Doesn’t get much better than that! I also had a hard time playing it cool when I heard Nolan loved Circus Mirandus so much he couldn’t wait to read the follow-up. That’s two wins in a row with the pickiest reader of the bunch, for those keeping track. Tate is keeping me humble though with his tepid response to The Westing Game. A 3 out of 5 stars from this avid reader feels like a meh at best. Here’s hoping I win him back with my next pick!
JULY’S PICKS
Nolan(9): I give this book 4.5 stars. This was really a good book. I liked that there were animals and magic in it. My favorite character was the parrot, Chintzy. Chintzy teleports and that’s a cool power to have. I want to read the second book: Bootlace Magician!
Jude(7): I give this book 4 stars. I liked that it was super funny just like Captain Underpants. I also liked that they were creative and did different things in the book. My favorite character was the piranha. I wish the book was longer!
Tate(11): I give this book 3 stars! I wish it was a longer book. I felt like there was a lot talking and not much action. I liked that it was a mystery and it felt suspenseful at times!
