Reading can be fun!

I would suggest this book for 3rd, 4th or 5th graders that have a hard time getting interested in reading. We need more of these types of books to inspire interest and imagination. The theme of nerd-hero using his brains to overcome adversity is certainly a good thing too.

A must read!

OK, Captain Underpants fans, here is the book you have been waiting for. Nolan Byrd and all the kids at school have suffered at the hands of Bubba for years. He is just plain mean. The kids have to tolerate his stealing, his lying, his cheating, and even adopt the ugly nicknames Bubba has bestowed on them. Nolan finds an inspired solution to the Bubba problem when his teacher assigns a newspaper project. Shredderman.com, a website devoted to exposing Bubba and his dirty tricks is born. Readers are completely caught up in Nolan's excitement and cheer his comical and witty victory over Bubba. Nolan's own self confidence improves as he takes control of his life. Van Draanen's writing is fast paced, smart and funny. Once I started the book, I HAD to finish it. At 144 pages it goes quickly. This would be an interesting read-aloud and could spark some terrific discussions about civility, kindness and tolerance. Many books about bullies are heavy handed and flat. This books addresses the subject with great humor and a light touch. Nolan, (Shredderman) has the power to do enormous good, thankfully there are more Shreddermans coming.

My 10 yr. old son loved it!

He could not put it down!! He did a book report on it and has been anxiously awaiting the publication of the next Shredderman book in the series. Parents, buy this for the child who loves to read as well as the one who would rather do anything else but read!!

Great read!

What a fun read! Kids, as well as adults, will enjoy Shredderman. Definitely, NOT the same old, same old! Can't wait to introduce Shredderman to my fourth graders. I know they'll enjoy him as much as I did. There are a lot of topics in the story ripe for discussion. Can't wait for Book 2.
