My name is Ted.This is my new favrite book.Thank you for writting this book.I never hada book like it.Its cool its the best.I read it alot.I get some good ideas.Buy this book!!!!!!!!!

What is it about this book?

My middle school students have started a cult around this little book. Notes started popping up everywhere. At first my response was typical adult frustration. Then I read this little book and I'm converted. Yes, the author gives students all sorts of ideas they wouldn't have had themselves. But he's responsible about it, and funny to boot. It's the rare how-to book that gets me to laugh out loud. There's a cleverness and a freshness I genuinely enjoy. The rule in our classroom now is that found notes get confiscated and read out loud. Next, we'll have to see about the contraptions they're all building in their lockers. Can I recommend this book? Absolutely. Kids will be kids; at least this little spy manual comes with reasonable, and clear, guidelines.

What kid wouldn't want this book?

This guy thought of everything! Forget the great hiding places. Never mind the intricate thoughts about passing notes (I'm glad I wasn't this guy's teacher). It isn't even the vaults you make that look so natural. It's the writing. It's a funny book. He has a dry sense of humour and a quick way with words. The writer knows kids. And his secrethidingplaces.com web site is pretty funny too. Even the legal notices! I can't wait for the next book.

All of my friends just love this book

So I saw this great little book and I had to see what it was about, right? It's called Secret hiding places for clever kids and it's so small and cute and funny. So this book has got so many really fun really smart little ideas and so I show it to my friends and the next thing we're all passing messages and nobody knows what we're about, right? This book is so funny! So we get making these totally smart little hideaways in our lockers and we're completely laughing all the time. It's way fun. And at home I'm like keeping my journal and my letters totally safe from some people, know what I mean? I think everybody in my group needs this book, but I want to keep all these hiding places to my self! Try that!
