Radio Fifth Grade

I met Gordon Korman when I was 11 years old in Germany. He had achieved everything I wanted: to write a book by 7th grade. And Radio Fifth Grade was my favorite. These kids were funny, smart, had initiative, and always figuring out how to get the things that they needed in an adult world that wasn't too sensitive. Today I actually work in radio, and I still remember this book, what it was like to be inspired at a young age, and remembering all of the oppressive details of childhood. A witty, insightful, and hilarious portrayal of kids.

Benjy Driver is the star on a radio station called 'Kidsveiw'. When he and his friends get a new teacher who gives out HARD homework, Benjy decides to ask the homework questions on the radio and get the answers. He needs to be careful that his teacher doesn`t listen and find out,though. So Benjy and his faithful friends try to keep their teacher from listening to her radio. Lots more happens. I really liked this book,because it is VERY funny. If you are looking for a funny book, this is a great recomendation. It is one of my favourite books, and if you read it, it will most likely be your favourite, too.

The author of my book,Radio Fifth Grade, is Gordon Korman. His books do not tell the meaning of life. The main character of this book is Benjy Driver. He is the star of the fifth grade radio show called Kidsview. He is funny and very impatient. He has short,curly,dark brown hair. The fifth grade radio show's new Mascot of The Week,Winston Churchill the parrot,won't talk. Benjy's teacher,Mrs. Gucci,wins $8,300,000.00 and moves to Honolulu leaving Benjy and his class with a new teacher called Ms. Panagapoulos.Last but not least, the school bully, Brad Jaworski, keeps writing stories about two kittens named Fuzzy and Puffy and thinks everybody likes his stories when he reads them on the radio. This story takes place at Centennial Park School. I thought this book was funny because Winston Churchill kept saying wierd things. I really liked this book and would like to read more books by Gordon Korman. I have some questions about Gordon Korman and his books: I wonder how much books Gordon Korman has made? I wonder if Gordon Korman is going to make more books? What does Gordon Korman do in his spare time? Will Gordon Korman ever make books about himself? When is Gordon Korman's birthday? Gordon Korman has made books about two boys named Bruno and Boots, but I wonder if he will ever make a new book about them with a new character? Will Gordon Korman ever make a book about a retold fairy tale? How much copies of each book does Gordon Korman make? Does Gordon Korman make books about his friends or enemies? Does he have a book all about an animal or will he make one? Has Gordon Korman ever made a book all in another language? That is the end of my book report on Radio Fifth Grade. I hope you liked it and I recommend this book,Radio Fifth Grade.

The author of my book Radio Fifth Grade is Gordon Korman. Gordon Korman lives in New York and likes to explore Canada. Gordon writes books full time. In this book,Radio Fifth Grade the main character is Benjamin Driver. Benjamin's nickname is Benjy. Benjy has brown hair and brown eyes and is the co-producer. Benjy owns a Radio program on station 95.5fm. No one at school listens to Benjy's program except the pit and people at home. There once was a teacher called Ms.Gucci then she was gone because she hit the jackpot. She won the lottery!! She left,of course then there was a new teacher called Ms.Panagopoulos. She gave really hard and WEIRD homework. She said that she wanted the questions to be answered creative. Well she sure got creative from Benjy. Benjy got creative by creating a game quiz show on his radio show and uses his homework questions as the questions on the game show. Then all he and his friends have to do is keep his new teacher from finding out. Then Benjy has this Mascot of the Week to go on his show and this week it's a parrot called Winston Churchill he and won't talk so Winston ends up on the show for 4 weeks until it's not a very good line to repeat...! This story takes place in Cenntenial Park School with a pet shop accross the street. I liked Go Jump in the Pool the best because almost every part in it was funny. It was funny when "The fish" won a jack-in-the-box and when he opened it and it sprang up and punched him in the face! I thought that was the funniest part in the book! I give this book 5 stars too. I recommend Gordon Korman books to almost everyone I know!!!!! Britney Sears
