Vote Michael for Maniac

Hola! This is Michael the Maniac here, giving my first BOOK REVIEW! I'm only on page 142 out of 394, but so far it's a very good book.

It's Science Fiction, and I got it at the Yale Bookstore (Fun Fact! Yale is my dream college. Yeah, I know it's pretty ridiculous to have a dream college when you're as yound as I am!) and I saw this book. I was reading Marley: A Dog Like No Other (FYI, the adult version Marley & Me is 10 times better, but 7 times more innapropaite) when this book caught my eye, because it was the thickest one next to a set of picture books, and the spine was a bright, neon green cover. I picked it up and the read the description.

Okay, I'll put you out of your misery and tell you what the book is called. It's called Science Fair! and it's a Disney book. (But, not one of those cheesy Dreams Come True! Disney books, it's one of their better ones.) In the beginning, a group of rich kids is making fun of a boy, and then they hear about the Science Fair, where the First Place prize is (wait for it, wait for it, drum rool. bumamamalabumalamummmmmmmm) Five grand! Yep, that's right $5,000 dollars! But, the main character (Toby) sold one of his parents Star Wars props to a pshycopath who thinks he's Darth Vader (yep, that's right DARTH VADER) to buy a gaming computer, and now Darth Vader wants more. But then Toby discovers a plot to bring down the United States governement, that involves the group of snotty rich kids winning the Science Fair. So now he has to get rid of a pshycopath maniac Star Wars freak AND save the country from a massive terrorist attack. Whoa. That's a lot to do in one month! Oh yeah, and he gets suspened from school, and he can't participate in the Scince Fair. PLUS he's grounded, so he can't do any poking around out of school, either.

Whenever I read (or start to read) a REALLY good book, I'll suggest it here. Maybe Caitlyn will, too. Do YOU have a really awesome book you want to talk about? Post a blog entry called something like "Tomato's Book review #1" or "The City of Ember book review by Kian". Be creative. Or, you could talk about a book that's really bad. Who says book reviews have to be nice?

This book review was made possible by Mom letting me get the book and me wanting to tell people about the book and the people who made the book and the people who lety the people make the book and all the other people who made it possible.
