Attack of the Soggy Underwater People

I am a third-grade teacher, and I found this book really exciting. I began it as a bedtime-story with my ten-year-old daughter, and we just couldn't put it down. The first evening, we read more than half. We finished it when we got up in the morning. I didn't even mind reading the whole thing aloud, it was so exciting.The book starts out by quickly explaining how Maximum Boy (and his sister, a minor character) obtained their powers. Maximum Boy's parents are leaning on him to do his homework, and the school is leaning on him to take tests which he missed, when the PRESIDENT of the U.S. calls his home, and asks for his help. His parents, and the school have to give in. Maximum Boy has to go find out what the soggy underwater people want after they make huge tidal waves, and appear on every beach in the world, threatening to take over the earth. Maximum Boy has to fight the soggy underwater people in several hard contests, representing the land people of the earth. The ending is not only a big surprise, and unexpected, but REALLY FANTASTIC ! I recommend this book for good eight-year-old readers, all the way up to adult. Parents will enjoy this book with their kids, as well. One of the best kids' books I've read in a long time. This is the first book in the Maximum Boy series that I've read, and based up on it, I would highly recommend the whole series to both boys and girls.

Maximum Boy starring in attack of the underwater peopleReviewed by Jaclyn. L. (Age 8) It?s a great book by Dan Greenburg. The illustrations are by Greg Swearingen . This book is about a boy named Max and when ever the president calls him; he and his sister will become Maximum Boy & girl. So 1 day the president called Maximum Boy & girl because he said there is waterpeople on Coney Island. So Maximum boy & girl flew to Coney Island. And they talked about a WAR. Whose team is going to win? Water peoples or people who live on earth? I think the big message is even though you?re small it doesn?t mean you can?t be smarter and tougher than other people can?t. I like this book because it?s funny! I recommend this book to people who like funny super hero chapter books ...
