Friendship, action, and classic literary characters out of time and place

Wow! What a creative story. I'm an adult with neices right in the 9-12 year old age range, and I look forward to sharing this book with them. This is a really creative story that may open up their horizons to literary classic characters and storylines, some of which they may or may not have heard of yet, and it does so by combining in other famous characters with whom I'm sure they can relate and are attracted to. I personally was quite impressed by the plot that unfolded in an unexpectedly pleasant and VERY imaginative manner, and of course I enjoyed the special theme of FRIENDSHIP the book created. I will share this book with my family.

A "Must Read"

This is one of the most imaginative and spell-binding books I've read in quite a while. I could actually SEE the characters as Mr. Harvell described them. I could also see the settings. There was so much action I had to stop and take a deep breath so I could keep reading. I was sorry when it was over. I'd love to see a sequel.

Great Book!!!

This is a great book. I enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. I was sad to see it come to an end. Hopefully there will be more adventures for the Book Battling Kids. This is a must read book for any child or adult that loves adventure and fantasy books. The description of the characters and the settings made you feel like you were right there in the middle of the adventure. What are you waiting for? Stop reading the reviews and read this book.

Fabulous book for children of all ages!!

My daughter, Dee, and I began reading this book every evening and both of us got hooked. We've devoured all the Charlie Bone, Harry Potter and Artimus Fowl series, but this one is something special. So many of the fantasy-based books are about boys, so it's nice this one is about a bright, caring 12 year old girl named Alice. The characters are engaging, the plot moves very fast and the addition of classic literary characters gives it a few twists and turns not expected. This book has a great story, a few good scares and a lot of heart. It's funny and very touching. I have to admit I got a tear in my eye at the end. It's well worth the price. Dee is already asking if there is going to be a movie--she wants to play Alice in the film!

Perfect Escape for Adults---Great for Kids Too

This book is one of the most creative and inventive books I've read in a long time. It picks you up and carries you into the story. It is geared to middle school children, but any adult who loves to read will love this book. "Adventures of the Book Battling Kids is a "must have" for an avid readers library.
