Excellent Book!

A Very Good Book! I loved the story behind it! The list was super funny! LOL! I am eleven years old and I would recommend it to any one around my age!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kid Tested, Mother NOT approved!

Steve may fail summer school, people think his parents should be arrested, his teacher may be fired, and the whole grade is mad at him. And all he did was complete his project for summer school!Steve needed money to go to the INVENTION CONVENTION (Boy, did he WANT to go!) He loved to make inventions. He was assigned a project in summer school. It was to write a book. First he was going to write a biography about his favorite inventor. Then his friend HICCUP, the hypochondriac, said "Why not write a book you can SELL to get money for the INVENTION CONVENTION?" So, they thought of a title that the students would want to buy. When they start to write and sell the book, all the funny things start to happen. This book has a lot fun situations and many funny characters. You get to know the different characters and you will like them. There are some jokes, too! And, of course, you will like the list at the end of the book called "101 WAYS TO BUG YOUR PARENTS."So, what happened to Steve? Did he actually get to the INVENTION CONVENTION? You will have to read this very funny book to find out.*****Mommy's note: With the very clever characterizations, and the one-line humor, even parents who like to "preview" their children's literature for appropriateness will enjoy this one! In the guise of a madcap situation, and a child-centered story, the main characters learn about responsibility, compassion, and friendship.
