3.5 Three stars seems rather low, but four stars is too high, so I guess I'll have to do the half stars … for the first time ever!
I loved the character3.5 Three stars seems rather low, but four stars is too high, so I guess I'll have to do the half stars … for the first time ever!
I loved the characters in this book, although they were rather interesting. They did weird things and dressed strange as well. But, Nick who is not a genius like his family and friends, was hilarious!! While his family and friends were inventing all sorts of neat things, he was in the side-lines watching. He was named after his Grandfather who was also an inventor - he made the first mechanical heart, which obviously isn't possible yet?
Why the two and half stars off then? Well, the whole book is about inventions (which isn't bad) and a lot of them are robots! Now, I don't dislike robots, but I don't really like them either. I didn't exactly find it interesting to read about, but I'm sure someone else might!! I also think there's something odd about the timeframe of this book, although it never says what year it is. With all the inventions and strange-way-of dressing, it feels like it's sometime in the future, but other times, it doesn't feel that way. So yeah, I don't know.
I recommend this to young readers, as I'm sure they'd enjoy it more than I did!

It was a easy read full of interesting facts and fun tales about farmers who had to leave Oklahoma and travel to California.
I think middle aged kids would really enjoy this book!

I ended up watching the movie halfway through reading this book, so I knew the ending, but there was still some things missing in the movie that the book had. It's not surprising though, because that always happens.
I think this book is super silly, but it was still fun to read and I got some chuckles out of it! There was so hilarious photos too which made it even better!
I really liked this! It was like a summary of the "Anne of Green Gables" book! It's a perfect read for young readers because it's written in a simple I really liked this!

I marked it as "currently-reading" several days ago, but I didn't get around to reading it all until today. I don't know what happened! xD
I always love Rebekah's stories, especially her Christmas ones! They're super short which is handy if you want to catch up on your reading challenge (lol), and they're also full of good morals! :)
Even though this was short, I loved the characters! Aunt Molly was darling, and Jackie was so nice (and his family, of course! <3).
Anyway, it was a very lovely story! You should read it!...more
