Customer Reviews

Fun read with great historical significance. A winner for boys!

Great read-aloud book about two boys during the Great Depression. I say read-aloud for those who may not be able to pick out the great contrasts, forshadowing and subtleties that would be a crime to miss. It's about a three day read-aloud. We talked about our own family history and the depression, how experiences affect behavior and about judging others."

The Amazing Thinking Machine Is a Great book

I just loved reading this book so much that I couldn't put it down. I just had to find out the ending. I believe that most kids (and probably most adults) would enjoy reading this book too. I can't wait to read another book by Dennis Haseley.
