not to good not to bad
As i said its not to good not to bad its to much of mystery theres practicly any stops from mystery and also its not bad because its funny sometimes.

My Review
This story is about a dog (Byte) who used to be in the AIA where animals would go on missions that were too dangerous for people.
The AIA retired him because he was over 40 in dog years.
He just got an urgent IM from his former people partner (Lassie) saying that the Sewer Systems are not ready for Y2K! In the chat room he talks in he tells them what is going on. They all say that they used to be in the FBI, CIA and NSA.
But when they gathered up at the meeting place they were a fat CIA mailman who was canned for sleeping on the job, a retired NSA secretary, and a 14 year old kid who dad was fired for crashing up an FBI car.
Will they still be able to save the world?? Time and toilet paper are running out!!

Pretty Good
I am not into the far-fetched fantasy books but I decided to try this one anyway. It is pretty fun and silly at the time. I would suggest to anyone who like's silly and funny book!

AWESOME![.]
I recently picked this book up at a second-hand store while looking for kids' books. I'd never read this before but I thought it was based on an article/story in a magazine I remember reading in school in 7th grade about the same situation; being "stuck in the first day of school": waking up every day and having to start over again! I don't remember what magazine that was that that story was in; supposedly it was some educational/religious magazine since I was at a Christian school that year, however when I read this book, I discovered this book wasn't what I thought and probably had no connection with the story in the magazine although both were similar.
When I read the first episode in the book about the first day, I was so mad at the main character's buddy Alex for how he treated people, especially poor Ollie, that I was just going to put down the book and not read it anymore but I'm glad I didn't because it gets better and better with every repeat first day of school! I cracked up laughing about the cafeteria's rotten food in spite of myself. That'd be awful but Alex the smart aleck got what he deserved, biting into a burger with rotten meat.
I can't remember the main character's name, but we see him become a stronger person instead of a follower of the bad seed Alex, as he takes Ollie the new kid under his wing and saves his house from a fire, and befriends the new girl Amber; they have a great friendship going on!! The ending was wonderful. I like this book a lot better than that article I said I read in 7th grade that was similar to this story because it had a happy and satisfying ending, whereas the one in the magazine left you hanging on a cliff practically! Very clever story, beautifully written. Kudos to Mr. Strasser, keep up the good work!

Great book!
Are you looking for a funny book that is exciting and will keep you on the edge of your seat? Well Help, I'm Trapped in the First Day of School is just that. It tells the story of a boy named Jake and how he learns the truth about his new best friend, Alex. After Jake gets stuck in the first day of school with Alex six times in a row, he figures out that Alex isn't quite as funny as he first appeared. Jake learns that there is something he must do about his new best friend in order to stop the first day of school from coming again each day. The most hilarious part about this book was when Alex tries to tell the teacher about a nature wedgie and a Melvin wedgie. One of the most exciting parts is when Jake figures how to get out of the first day of school. I would recommend this book to someone who has a good sense of humor about kids who like to joke around in school.

did anyone else notice that this book is a movie?
drive me crazy. bad movie. but it has all the same characters and plot as this book. which was pretty good. Isn't it weird how sometimes, totally unknown books become movies?

Fun book about Nicole's prom plans
Nicole is a great lead character. She and her friends are at a fun time of life - the end of high school, and the start of everything else. Nicole is a little "obsessed" with making sure she has a perfect senior prom, but she realizes it, so it's funny. She gets dumped by her boyfriend, and decides to fake "fall in love" with the boy next door. She has to improve him first, and get him to go along with the plan. This book is a lot of fun to read, and it is not full of sex and drugs as some other popular teen books are. I highly recommend it.

My Review For Girl Gives Birth To Own Prom Date
Girl gives birth to own prom date is a great book. If you liked the movie, Drive Me Crazy, you'll love this book! The movie is based on it. It has the same characters and everything. It's romantic, funny, cool, and interesting all at the same time! A great book for all teens! I give it two thumbs up!

Buzzard's Feast -- An Exciting Read
I gave this book 4 stars because it was exciting with something always happening. Lots of suspense. A real page-turner. You really get to know and understand the characters. It has a touch of humor but not silly. I didn't give it 5 stars because I didn't think it was as good as Gator Prey -- not as descriptive and the characters in Gator Prey were more fun. I like animals and Gator Prey had more animals in it.

An exciting book.
Henry and his little brother, Paul, who live with their mom in Los Angeles, are going to visit their dad in Los Vegas. To save their mom the money, Henry and Paul ride with Amber, a girl Henry knows from school, in an old, beat up van driven by Luke, Amber's nineteen year old brother. Then the van breaks down in the middle of the burning desert. Now they don't have enough food or water, and they're surrounded by dangers - poisonous snakes, scorpians, and spiders, buzzards, and open mine shafts. Can they survive all this?

Great Read
This was great for my nephew because he enjoyed the movie so much and he enjoys reading. He was able to understand the book quite well because he had seen the movie.

A very,very,very interesting book!

A great story, and very interesting to read! I have never watched the movie, but I want to watch it now. There is a set of pictures from the movie(I think) around the middle of the book and I thought it was quite interesting to look at them. If you like animal-whale stories, I'm sure you'd like this book. Even if you don't like animal-whale stories, I think you would like it anyway! My opinion is that this book was very interesting!

Pretty Good
I am into mystery and suspension books so I decided to try this book. It starts out pretty quickly. The story is suspose to be exciting and the things that happen seem exciting but, everything is predictable and very..... no extremly unlikely to happen. Anyway if you like those type of books you will like it.

An exciting book about survival.
I liked this book because it was an exciting and realistic survival story. I highly reccomend it especially if you liked previous books in the Against the Odds series. Thirteen-year-old Justin is sad that his dad died a couple of years ago. He is going on a trip with his mom and her boyfriend Bill and her Bill's daughter Rachel. The little plane his mom is flying crashes in an Everglades swamp. They are in danger and must figure a way out.

Help! I am trapped in a teacher's body
Have you ever read a book about school? This is the first school book I've ever read. The author is Todd Strasser the title is Help I am Trapped in my Teacher's Body. This book is for people who like stories by Todd Strasser. The author uses easy words. I like easy words. Some examples are how, they, and what. This book is an exciting because it tells what it is like to be a teacher.

John the main character has to teach a science class. He does science projects. John teaches how to make bombs. He lets them make water balloons. I like this book. It is one of the best chapter books I ever read.

I like this book because it is exciting to read what happens next. The author is Todd Strasser. The main characters are Mr.Dirksen, John, and john's sister. This is a good book for fifth graders because I never got board.

Help! I'm trapped in my teacher's body
This book was really funny though a little out of hand sometimes. I really liked it. I thought sometimes it would just go on about nothing and would be really boring. But that would be just a little bit the other parts were realistic and thoughtful. I give it 4 stars!

Help!!! I'm Trapped In My Teacher's Body
I loved this book because, it's really funny and it gives readers a point-of-view of a teacher.

It's about a 12 year old kid named Jake Sherman. Everything goes well, until he and his teacher's body switch. To make matters worse, his teacher, Mr. Dirksen, doesn't want to switch back!!!

Did I leave you hanging?? Well, read this book to find out!!

FUN!
'Here Comes Heavenly' makes for good, light-hearted reading. The plot is interesting and not heavy and boring. The characters catch you with their vibrant descriptions and you really want to read on, and find out more about Heavenly Litebody, the mysterious nanny who suddenly appears. Where did she come from? Who exactly is she? and so on. It's very fun. I finished it and I wanted to read the sequel immediately!

I couldn't put it down!
Reading Here Comes Heavenly was fun, and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next! The Rand children live in a nice neighbor hood, with a nanny, or actually not one solid nanny, the kids can't seem to keep one! One day right after the old nanny quit Heavenyl Litebody was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. The kids asked her how she got in, since they have a 'state of the art alarm syster' but Heavenly found a way to get around that. Weird things start to happen when Heavenly is around, and most of them are benifical. Like, when Kit, one of the kids, wants a boy to be her History partener and the teacher picked Kit's enemy, the grl offeres to have Kit as a 3de person in the group. This girl was never nice, and Kit starts wondering why. The when Heavenly tells Samera, the youngest girl, to do her homeowrk in the kitchen. Samera says NO! and when she tries to go up stairs with er book bag, it breaks, not matter how hard she tries, she cant seems to pick up all her books. Read more of this amazing book, and enjoy!

Here Comes Heavenly....................... Literally
I read this book in 1 day it was so good. Todd Strasser came to my school and he told us about his ideas for this book! Everyone should buy this and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in this series!
