Life is Unfair if You Can Not Get This Book

The Exchange Student is another great Malcolm in the Middle story by Pan Pollack. This sensational short novel is just like watching an episode on television, and with your imagination seeing all the characters you forget it is actually a book. In this episode the Krelboyne class is hosting an exchange student for a week and a host family needs to be found. Lois finds out and offers to have the host the student in their house. He will stay in the boys' room. To Malcolm, Reese and Dewey this an excellent opportunity for a slave. When Malcolm's teacher shows up with the student to everyone's surprise she is a girl named Camillia. Lois is thrilled, Camilla is the daughter she always wanted. The boys are thrown out of their room for Camillia and she quickly starts to take Malcolm's role in the family and at school, much to his jealousy. Reese and Dewey are not thrilled either with the inconvenience to their lives and there is nothing they can do. Meanwhile Mother's Day is coming up. This is an excellent book for readers of all ages. It is a short novel so kids or those who do not like reading long novels can read it too. Krelboyne Parrot also by the same author Pam Pollack is as good as this novel if not better. Tom Mason another author also has some books in this series. I have read The Hostage Crisis, which is good and worthwhile buying, but not in the same league as Pollack's work. This is an hilarious novel, I will definitely be buying the other books in this series I have not yet read as you can never have enough Malcolm in the Middle.

After that phone the boys were upset because everything was going Camellia's way, the next day it was time to go to the barber shop in the mall, Malcolm and Reese didn't want haircuts and at the barber it was even worse. When they were in the chairs they started fighting and spraying shaving cream everywhere, after they were done they were banned from ever getting a hair cut again. When they got home Dewey was acting strange, they tried to get it out of him but he wouldn't tell. At dinner time Camellia found a package under the bed and she gave it to Lois, she opened it to find a Mother's day gift and a nose. The next day they went to the mall and bought a Mother's day gift, that night Malcolm checked for the gift it was gone. They went out for Mother's day dinner and got banned from that restaurant. I can not give away the ending but if this book has seen interesting for you go buy, borrow, or check it out thank you for reading my review.
