*I received a box of books from Scholastic Press. As I was browsing through the books, this cover caught my attention. I grabbed the book, sat down, and began reading.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*Eddie is excited about summer and has come up with a plan to avoid all chores.
*He really wants to not have to do his own laundry.
*As he is gearing up for the annual "Summer Beach Bash", he ends up grounded until he completes all chores and LAUNDRY.
*While "knee-deep" in dirty clothes spinning through the rise-cycle, the power goes out in Eddie's house.
*In just his swimsuit, Eddie ventures out into the neighborhood to find everything has changed and not too many people are around.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*I was immediately drawn into the story with the "voice" of Eddie.
*He invited the reader into the story on page one and kept me by his side for the entire wide ride.
*There were lots of laugh out loud moments while I followed Eddie out in the "ever-changing" world.
*The story was strongly built on conversations between Eddie and his friends. At times, this got to be a bit much.
*Eddie was an over-the-top character who jumped off the page and brought lots of life and energy.
Who Should Read It:
*Young readers will so enjoy this novel. The story has lots of action, laughs, and crazy moments. I think kids in grades three through six would be awesome for the book. Happy Reading!
