Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled Eggs This story is about two sixth grade twin brothers who have to work together to help one of them make a higher grade in science. Through out the story, Judge Jenkins is struggling with dyslexia and is having trouble in school. Jury, his twin brother does good in school but only studies get by. Judge needs to get at least a D in science and the only way is to enter in the Science Rally and place in the top three. He signs him and his brother up without asking Jury. Jury is angry, but in the end realizes that he has to help his brother do good on the project or the both of them will be sent to a private school. They compete with other school and do pretty well. Read the book and find out what happens. In my opinion the book was not very good. I did not find it exciting and it did not keep my attention. Most of the book has to deal with dyslexia and all the problems that go along with it. There are a few funny parts where the brothers are fighting and the mother is messing around with them. I would recommend this book to someone who does not like adventure. I was disappointed with the ending because it leaves you hanging.
