Customer Reviews

Toy story was good this book is better

To all readers, This book I'm still reading it is one of the greatest books Ive ever read. Its got action thrills laughs and three headless aliens from Saturn. The story is about a boy named Noah who collects action figures that he calls (His Guys) On the bus to school he wishes he and his guys/the aliens Gordy and commander falcon wpould come to life and he would shrink to there size and have an adventure. Read this book if you like actions or is in fourth grade.

Very Short People in the Fourth Grade

You have to be careful of what you wish for because it might come true. Noah, a fourth grader, got a magic set with wishing dust in it. He wished for something that he really wanted and it came true! I think all fourth graders should read this book because it is about fourth grade and it is a very humorous story.

The Best Book I Ever Read

When I started reading this book it was very interesting. But it got better. The book is about a kid named Noah who has lots of toy soldiers and wishes that he could be one of them and come to life. One day he goes to the store with his mother and his little brother, Jess. He puts a quarter in one of the toy machines and gets a little bag of what looks like some kind of magic kit. He goes to his friend's house and trades some of the powder that was in the kit for a weapon off of one of his friend's actoin figures. That day on the bus he makes a wish that he was one of his action figures, and they would come alive. At this time five of his action were in his pocket. Three of them were aliens, and two of them were toy soldiers. I guess you'll have to read the rest of the story to ee what happens next. I really enjoyed this book, and I guarantee that you will too.
