Kids Books - Humor

I like the Humphrey book because Humphrey is really funny. When Humphrey goes home with families he is scared but learns lessons from each family he visits, he also teaches the families but he is just a little hamster.

Magikal and darke, this book really pulls readers into the book itself! Actually, if Septimus was real, I might have had a small crush on him. Well, just kidding! :) I prefer Spit Fyre better.

I think that this was a really good end to the series, Angie Sage (the author) ended it in a good place so it diddn't leave you wondering what happened when you would never know. I thought that it was really interesting that all of the titles of the books were spelled incorrectly. And any words having to do with magic throughout the series were in bold. I wonder why she did that? Over all I loved this series and would tell any one and every one I know to read it.

I love the septimus heap series, and I am very pumped to read yet another volume of the fabulous world of magik and a hint of darke.

Paranormal, supernatural, every word that spooks you and sends chills and laughs down your spine- the perfect haunted comedy twisted love story

Megan McCafferty is an amazing story writter and I can relate to Jessica (character in the book) and I love the way this story goes and I think you should read this book.

I really liked "Frank Einstein and the Brain Turbo" - it was quirky, it was unexpected, and there was loads of fun for all ages included in this quick read! As an extra bonus for every science fanatic out there, the book has filled to the brim with medical research and facts (you'll probably learn more than a science textbook, in an even more fun way) and wacky, futuristic, even dangerous inventions to keep you on the edge of your seat! But everything begins with the Midville Mud Hens, a local kids baseball team. Unfortunately, Janegoodall, Frank Einstein's friend, can't throw fast enough to make it on the team (she's been practicing all week) and tryouts are tomorrow! And here enters one of her best friends, Frank Einstein, a fourth-grader genius scientist who also has his own lab. Together, Frank, Janegoodall, their friend Watson who is working on his own candy called the da Vinci, and Klink & Klank, two robots of mostly Frank's own invention start thinking, and Frank's brain with gamma brain waves thinks of a hypothesis - if they "boost" the brain, they could possibly get the other systems (circulatory, respiratory, or in Janegoodall's case, muscular) to work faster and better. As Frank Einstein is working on his machine, he starts to think of other ways he could use it positively, like repair some parts of his Grampa Al's memory, for example. However, on the other side of town, Frank Einstein's nemesis T. Edison is working on an invention that can control Midville Park, the United States, and the whole world! He thinks that everyone in the world deserves to be lead by him, as everyone and everything in the world is too stupid to do much better without him - but unfortunately, his evil mastermind plan fails miserably because his invention.. well, to put it simply, fails to work! But once T. Edison sets his eyes on Frank Einstein's incredibly genius Brainturbo (the invention that Frank Einstein had just completed and has great plans for) and suddenly thinks of all the negative ways the machine could be used - as in controlling the world, for example (yup, it's that powerful.) So if it falls in the wrong hands.. it could do anything! Once the BrainTurbo and Klank (Frank Einstein's trusty robot helper and friend) are at the mercy of T. Edison, T. Edison will be impossible - if only he could dispose of the only thing standing in his way, Frank Einstein and his friends. But neither side is willing to give in.. who will win? This book is probably one of my favorite science books ever, because it just has inventions that will have your imagination up and started and it just gives you so many things to think about! I mean, making something that can control the world - it's something you probably can't imagine, even in the far future! I learned a lot of AMAZING science facts that I didn't even know when I was reading this book! I also like how this book touched a little on history, with famous scientists like da Vinci, Einstein, and more mentioned, and also Janegoodall, one of the main characters, surprisingly has almost exactly the same personality as the real Jane Goodall. But.. I hated that the dialogue wasn't witty at all, except for a few jokes which fell mostly flat, and that the characters.. eesh, sorry, but one-sided. This is a common fault, but the book was way too short, and the climax? Even shorter and cheesier, in fact the climax didn't have much connection to the book! At all! But as in all books, some parts are pretty bad and some parts.. well, some parts set my imagination on fire! I'll be sure to read some other books in this series, as this is my first, as this book exceeded my admittedly pretty low expectations! I recommend this to fans of imagination, inventions, scientists, and the Nick & Tesla books.. if I have to describe this book in just three words, I'd say it's "short but sweet.."

This was a cute, educational, and fast read. It starts off with Frank Einstein with his pretty cool invention... drumroll please... the electro finger :p...with his best friend and his two robots, Klink and Klank (reading that part... I want a robot :-D) to make his plans work out and to stop T. Edison and his chimp (they are kind of like his competitor/rival)... this book grabbed my attention by the humor... it also had pretty cute cartoons and diagrams that went along with the story and that gave it more of an educational vibe. This book was very enjoyable, witty, and hilarious read :-)! Do you think Frank Einstein can launch his invention out to Midville... or will T. Edison stop them??? Well read and find out! People who are looking for a fun, light, wacky, and informative read... well this book is for you! :-)
