Jason Hunter’s got your typical problems. His parents relocated him to a new city, where he promptly made bad by coming to the aid of a geeky boy and getting himself on the jock “hit list.” Speaking of his parents, they’ve been acting a little, well, distant lately, and then there’s the question of the crazy new neighbors who seem to be spying on him. When he chooses to follow them one night, he makes a discovery that forevers changes what he thinks of himself, his friends, and his family. A middle grade novel by Jim Mastro, this book has action and adventure that holds particular appeal for its intended age group. Jason is a believable 12-year-old boy who finds strengths he never knew he had as he pulls together with his friends to find his parents and, basically, save Earth. The adventure takes us into space to visit other planets with advanced civilizations, and introduces us to a federation we never knew existed. The three children in this book, Jason, Kevin and Amelia, are engaging and nicely developed. Each has a distinct personality, and each is valuable to the storyline in his or her own way. Jason may be the star of the story, but his two friends are equally important to the outcome. Shalan, one of the aliens who has a particular interest in protecting Jason, fades a little into the background, which may be fitting for a book geared towards pre-adolescents. The kids are really the stars, and the adults have their place, but are truly secondary. Nicely paced, the storyline flows fluidly through several settings and builds up to its finale, which is really just the beginning of the planned trilogy. Although it's just the first installment, the book provides closure, while still setting the stage for the next adventure. One theme in this book relates to the power of children, and this theme is something I always enjoyed when I was in this age group. The idea that an unpopular pre-teen actually has the power to change the world, to do amazing things, and to be so important is an idea that empowers and excites those in this age group. It's the classic story of the underdog making good, in ways that may surprise any who didn't believe in him. This is the first novel for the author, who has been writing predominantly non-fiction for decades. It's a great first jump into a trilogy that is sure to find fans in all age groups. The writing is appropriate for the age level, overall. There were a few instances where the dialogue was a little awkward or unbelievable, but it seemed to ring true for the most part. Some of the adults are more two-dimensional and less believable, but that only puts the spotlight even more on the kids. The ending seemed slightly rushed and perhaps a tad confusing after all the build-up in the story, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Very kid-friendly, this book is sure to appeal- especially to those interested in science fiction and space travel. @MotherLode blog

I really enjoyed "Al Capone Does My Shirts." The story is unique, with an interesting historical setting, and a compelling family dynamic. Moose is an eminently likeable character, and he’s going through experiences that are relatable to a broad audience. I think Choldenko’s portrayal of Natalie was authentic and sympathetic, and the relationship between brother and sister was touching. I liked that the author juxtaposed what could be a difficult topic (autism and its impact on family) with Alcatraz Island (with all its oddness and perceived danger). The interspersion of baseball, adolescent friendships, and a scheming mean girl made it even better. I would definitely use this book in a middle school classroom. I might create pre-reading lessons based on Alcatraz, The Great Depression, and perhaps, Al Capone. I think students would enjoy hearing about what life was like for civilians on Alcatraz, and would have fun imagining how they would respond to being in a situation like Moose’s.

Very easy read. Makes you wonder how stages reality television really is. Are they editing to make it look a certain way?
I just re-read this book. I love the way that Jane Austen writes. She portrays the complexities of social morays so well.

This book is narrated by a girl whose uncle has Down Syndrome and is the man who loved clowns. Very good book to facilitate discussion on acceptance and inclusion.

Friedman takes interesting stands on some things, and I thought this was an entertaining, thoughtful book. His conclusions even seemed reasonable. Then, however, I went to India myself...

Harsh and realistic.
This books is about learning how to love reading again after someone (such as an English teacher) ruins it for you by making it more work than it is worth. He talks about getting back into serious reading when you're accustomed to scanning blogposts and reading blips on Facebook and Twitter. A very timely conversation! I read the book though in two days, albeit two or three pages at a time as I have young children who very often interrupt.

Reposting an Old Review So, what I liked about the book: its cover is beautiful and related to the story-many beautiful covers have no connection to the story these days. the story began and ended perfectly and I had no trouble getting into it. it was the right length and a very fast read for me. humor was done just right. the balance between science and the paranormal elements was good. What I did not like: the female lead seemed to be head over heels in love with the coolest guy in school-how many more times is this going to be done? the virus/infection was spreading in the school and none of the adults seemed to notice-didn't buy it. All that being said, I can't wait to try the next book in the series because the author has a really fun way of writing a story.

Koontz is always a complete hit or miss for me. I'd put this one on my "hit" list. Supernatural horror plus comedy doesn't always work, but here it does. Some of the comedy was a little slapstick, but I still enjoyed it.
