Customer Reviews

awesome book

This book was many books combined into one hillarious comedy. It had action, violence, and humor. I would recommend this book to friends or foes. Fred, Joe and Sam were terrific. Read this book!!!!!

There's three boys and they have a book you see...

Summer Reading is Killing Me is a good book because it's about three boys who have a book.This book is no ordinary book because it time warps.This time the green slime took them into a book with villans and good guys.The major villan is a mad teddy bear he wants to take over the world.So they have to save all the books and the world.I gave this book five stars because it's adventurous and funny.

Absolutely Terrific!

The Time Warp Trio set out on their best adventure yet, when Fred leaves their school's summer reading list stuck inside the pages of their time travel vehicle, "The Book". Now, the three are stuck in literature, where the bad and evil characters are out to get all the good ones and take over the stories. This is a wonderfully written, witty, funny story that will have your kids laughing out loud. Perfect for third through sixth graders, kids will recognize characters from stories they've read and some that parents and teachers have read to them. A page turner to the end, this is the perfect book to read once the school year has ended. The only negative thing I can say about Summer Reading is Killing Me, is that it's over way too soon.

It's the best of the Time Warp Trio!

As a Michigan teacher who has met the author personally I look forward to each new book Scieszka writes. I especially enjoyed reading the latest adventures of Scieszka's Time Warp Trio. The adventure is fast paced and I caught myself laughing out loud as I read. In my classroom I will read it at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the year to arouse interest in the many book characters mentioned in the story.

This is one Time Warp Trio book you won't want to miss.

I recommend this book to any boy in third or fourth grade. It was a very funny book to read and was adventuous also. After reading many other Time Warp Trio books, this was a welcome addition to my summer reading list. P. S. After reading this book pay good attention to the summer reading at the end. It will make you chuckle!
