S. R. Martin does a great job of writing quick, captivating mysteries that will grab your middle schooler's attention. Great for kids who are struggling readers and are overwhelmed at the thought of a thick chapter book. Also, great for read-a-loud.

I liked this book it was an easy read for me but it feels like it needs to be longer and needs to describe in better words how Rosco looked after the chess game.However I think everyone should read it because it gives a good message, that you should be nice,
A Big Attitude Adjustment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is 82 pages short, which was good in one sense--Gerard. Gerard is the most popular boy in school and he knows it. He is so full of himself that he thinks he can wow the new girl in school with no problem. But Sadie doesn't like him.Gerard tries everything to get Sadie's attention, but she ignores him. After he humiliates the class nerd, things start going bad for him. His supplies are stolen out of his desk and he can't seem to get rid of this chill, despite the extreme heat.Gerard becomes obsessed over Sadie and not in the love-crush sense; he thinks the Haitian girl is pulling a voodoo curse on him by stealing his things so she can make a doll.One night, he sets out to prove this. When he reaches her house, he sneaks up to her bedroom window and finds her sitting on the floor, surrounded by candles. Gerard's fears are realized in a very chilling way.I think kids will enjoy this book because it is written on their level. Martin portrays the school heirarchy very well. His writing is fast paced, with plenty of dark humor. So, if you're looking for a Christmas gift for your young teen, consider this book.
