When Mr. Trout comes to SMS to teach a Short Take class on computer programming, Jessi and her classmates find him to be strange. Wearing toupee and strange clothes, Mr. Trout is the perfect victim for cruel pranks. At first, the pranks are innocent; just a few spit wads and book dropping. But after a while, the intensity of the pranks goes up. The strangest part about it all, though, Mr. Trout never gets the kids in trouble. So, when Jessi is asked to play a mean prank on Mr. Trout in the SMS follies, Jessi goes along with it, not thinking about the consequence it could bring. But what a mistake. Mr. Trout takes it the wrong way and now Jessi feels terrible about what she did. This book was SUPER good. It taught the importance of always being kind to people, especially vulnerable people. Through Jessi, the reader gets to see the childlike aspect of Jessi. The mature babysitter is replaced with a mischievous sixth grader. Although still fun, this book never failed on teaching important lessons. Not only was it funny and uplifting, but it was also meaningful and interesting. This book is packed with great life lessons. It teaches the importance of even a small and seemingly funny prank can affect someone's life and even job. I thought this book was really good and a must read. I suggest this book if you like pranks, follies/plays, baby-sitting, and friendship. Happy reading!

I really liked this book because I thought it was funny. One part that was funny was when Andrea kissed AJ. Another part that I thought was funny was when Mr. Jack was shooting tennis balls at the kids and Andrea and AJ were the only ones left and AJ won Andrea said she he was her hero.

Writing style--4/5. Really good. Every now and then I got a little distracted because Cecilia would discuss something to the reader for a couple pages and I would get bored. But I was still very impressed. Age choice--2/5. Cecilia was fourteen. Fourteen! Seriously! Just the way she acted and thought, the stuff that happened to her, it all spoke sixteen to me. She was one of the most ME characters I've ever read, not sure what that says about me, and I guess I'm only fourteen too. So hmmmm... Ending--2/5 While I hadn't contrived the exact ending, I knew it would be something a little too easy. And it was. I had at least a dozen reasons of why the solution wouldn't work. Couldn't come up with a better alternative, however. Cecilia and Harper's ending was great though... :) Dialogue--5/5 No complaints whatsoever, which was great, actually kind of impressed. Conversations felt normal and non-contrived, with the ease of real life friends. I am jealous. :) Character development--3/5 Conflicted here. I didn't really feel like I knew the characters well enough to predict actions for anyone except Harper and Cecilia, but for an MC she was pretty average, with the exception of her high values. Relatable, but not exactly remarkable. My type of person in real life, not so much in a book. But then, personality was not relevant to the plot, and it was made up for in story. Not sure where to go with this.

Louise lives on Rass Island, a strict Methodist island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay. For all her life, her twin sister Caroline has gotten all the attention. Caroline is talented and artistic, while Louise likes catching crabs with her friend, Call. The book tells about Louise's adventures on Rass as well as how she tries to escape the shadow of her twin. It was really entertaining and very funny at the beginning.

Omg!!! I don't like books very much, but this is the second time i have read this book, i finished it in 3 days, and it was just as wonderful as the first time i read it! All the books in this series are AMAZING!!! There is never a "boring" part in this book! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading this intense creative story! i couldn't put it down!

Mama knows that she and Esperanza are only safe far away from Esperanza's uncles, and she and Manuel's family leave for a camp in California.
