Clearly, I've been in a series mood. Actually, I bought both these books at the spring book fair at school last week, and I loved them both!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw has taken my classroom by storm! I really like these books. They are relatively simple to read, making them kid-friendly. Also, they are about the hilarious hijinks of a kid everyone can relate to: the dorky, unsure, slightly clueless kid. We all feel that way sometimes. I'm so excited that there are two more books in the works! The next one comes out October 12!
Maximum Ride: School's Out - Forever is an example of a series continuing the way it ought to. I've been really disappointed by some series lately (Vladimir Tod and Uglies, to name a couple) which start out really great and by the middle of the second book are boring, unlikely, or just plain weird. Maximum Ride on the other hand, has staayed strong! I'm really excited to read the rest of the books!
