I loved this book when I was a child. The pictures are great, with close-ups, arrows pointing things out and detailed diagrams of various things. It's fun to look at all the details. I also had Something Queer at the Library and thought it was just as good.

Recently, on a trip to my parents house, I found this book and brought it home to read to my almost two-year-old daughter. She loves it! She keeps making me read it over and over again. She likes to imitate Gwen tapping her braces and Jill poking Gwen. (She even says "poke poke poke" to me as she pokes me.) She won't let me read her the Something Queer at the Library book because she is so intrigued by this one.

It's really a timeless book. Though it was published in 1973, it still feels very up-to-date, especially since Jill has a working mother. I love that my daughter loves it as much as me.

This book was one of my favorites as a child, and I just re-read it tonight at age 26. It's a great story about two kids dedicated to finding their adorable lost (stolen)dog. The illustrations are fun and recall the fabulous adventures of childhood.

As a child, I loved all of the Something Queer books. When I found copies at a used book sale, I bought them for my classroom. Several of my students also enjoyed these books. In particular, the students who had difficulty with reading enjoyed these excellent stories which have relatively easy text. They often read them again and again.

"The Karate Class Mystery" is a book about friends who work together even when their frindship is threatened. The karate stuff is fun and the vocabulary is explained really well so you don't feel stupid. I love mysteries and this is a fun one. If you like mysteries and karate you should read this one. The other Invisible Inc. books are good too but I liked this one best.

This is a story about a kid who wanted to see his friend more often, so he went to karate classes to see him, and in the story he helps his friend find his white belt. This was a fun book to read and it had some funny parts, too.

This book is about a wild, white horse. A cowboy named C.J. told this story to two girls named Gwen and Jill. It was a story about the wildest and meanest horse in the world. My favorite part was when they found the white horse at night. I like the white horse because he finally became tame. Kids will like this book because it is exciting. Read to find out what happens at the end.

Gwen and Jill are best firends in the book. they see an artcle for a missing horse. they find that C.J has the horse. I'll let you read to find out.

This books are wonderful. They make learning history fun and cool. It combines jokes, historical facts and funny information in a great easy-to-read package. My 4th grader loves the whole series. Both reluctant readers and history lovers will enjoy the breezy way history is told in these books. Ideal for 3rd-5th graders and even middle school students. Great as gifts or for a classroom. Too bad all history books aren't this fun!

Lauren used to take gymnastics but quit. Her friend Cindi got her to go agian. At first, she think's out of the whole group, she is the "beginner." She does very good. All of a sudden, a meet is comming and she is not sure. Will she do good? Read this wonderful book and find out!

Andre Emerson is skating beautifully on the cold ice during a competition. All of a sudden, the cable from the light fixture above snaps! It lands hard on the rink, just missing Andre. Later throughout the day, Ken Swanson, the boy who competes with Andre, was listening to his headphones. Someone came up behind him and mugged him, but he never saw whom it was. Another day Ken Swanson and his friend, Kelly, came up early to the ice rink to practice for his competition that night. Andre was supposed to be there, but didn't show up. From everything that was going on, they got suspicious. So Ken went looking for Andre while Kelly stayed behind. Ken had been gone for a while, so she went to look for him. Kelly searched everywhere, and then found him. Andre was bleeding from his head while lying on the ground, and Ken was standing up with the red weapon in his hand. To find out whom the terrorist is you have to read the book. I would say that out of one to five stars, that this book was a five. It was really exciting and I could never put it down.

My name is Kyle. I'm in Mrs. Carter's first grade class. I asked my teacher if I could take this book home to read it. It was a book on the shelf that I read 5 chapters about kids that solve mysteries. I'm going to buy all the rest of the books with the same kids in them. I like all these books, but my favorite book is with the same kids called The School Yard Mystery.

In this day and age where what seems to make it in this worldis that and those people who conform to the do's and don'ts ofcorporate America, or perhaps I ought say america with a small"a", FM is a most refreshing change that renews my belief that there are still original thinkers out there making personal and important statements that are not only artistic, but personal, cultural, politically relevant, psychologically astute and desperately needed. It is hard to hold onto the hope that individuals can grow up in this world, develop and hold onto and feel good about an authentic sense of self - so kudo's to Lisa Adams for creating this book, and for those whos work appears. I am always impressed by the work of Lauren Hartman who seems to really have found a path to her authentic self - may she never lose that, and may this book inspire others to find theirs.

An awsome book about 7th graders. The whole breaking his toe thing is really funny!! it took me less than a day to read becuase I coundn't stop. I even was reading it in history class :) I have already given the book to my friend and she lovesd it too. I think that this would be a great book for book lovers (like me) to read.

Wow! This book is the best book I have read in a very long time! I would so read this book over and ever again of I had the time but, unfortunately I don't. The main character, Rebecca, reminds me of myself when I was in seventh grade at central middle school. I have read several Elizabeth Levy books and I find this to be one of the best books I have ever read and I think it is my favorite book too. I am waiting for her to write another book. Hopefully it will be soon!

I thought that Tango was a hillarous book and when they had the anti-valentine party it was so cleaver. I loved that book. Everyone asked if they could read my book after I was done.

This is definitely a childrens book. It would put an adult to sleep. It is a very funny children's book though. The jokes aren't exacty that funny. I tried the funniest one on my dad and he kinda said, "Was that supposed to be funny or what?" It was sort of embarassing. I would recommend this book to any one who likes to laugh and is able to get their nose out of a good book.

Everything is a joke to Bobby Garrick. He makes everything funny. Although the knock-knock jokes in this book are terrible, the story is funny. Bobby never does his homework, and when he finally does (write a page on what you think could make this school better), his teacher knows he's serious. He suggests to the principal they actully do this idea (a school laugh off: kids go up against kids telling the funniest jokes, & teachers going up against teachers telling the funniest jokes. Then the funniest teacher goes up against the funniest kid. The winner is based on who has the loudest applause). The principal says ok. READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT MORE!

In the book "My Life as a Comedian" Bobby Garrick is a class clown who thinks that he can get by with practical jokes just as his brother Jimmy did when he was in school--that is before Jimmy got kicked out of alternative school and home as well. Being like big brother has its consequences, and Bobby isn't sure that he wants to be placed in an alternative school. It takes a caring teacher, Mr. Matous, who suggests that Bobby use his quick wit to organize a school-wide comedy contest to help Bobby prove himself to his school and his family.
