review 1: The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester is a book, without many surprises and unexpected characters. It's a nice story for younger readers about a boy from Carter, Georgia who happens upon a secret that will make him the envy of any kid who ever wanted to do some underwater exploring. The characters have a generally authentic feel about them, and the story is realistic as well.Owen and his friends, Stumpy and Travis, work hard to build a special cage for the exotic-looking frog that Owen managed to catch one day at Graham Pond. A neighbor girl, Viola, tells Own and his friends that the frog doesn't look very happy, though, and as much as Owen resents Viola for her know-it-all tendencies, he silently agrees that the frog really doesn't look content to be kept in even the speci... moreal cage that Owen and his friends had custom built as its home. Soon, however, a bigger event comes upon Owen than his debates over whether or not to keep the frog. A mysterious something falls off the train way behind his house one night, making a racket when it hits the ground that is audible as far away as Owen's bedroom, and Owen is curious as to just what could have made such a sound. He enlists the aid of Stumpy and Travis to hunt down the object, all the while trying to evade Viola so as to keep her from tagging along. When Owen eventually finds what it was that fell off of the train, it's a bigger surprise than he ever expected, and could offer him a unique perspective on Graham Pond like he will probably never have again.I believe that It's a great story of friendship and family.
review 2: Lexile/Grade: 770 / 3rd-7thPages/Duration: 192 / 3 hrsSummary: Owen lives in the south and on Summer break he has three important events happen to him. 1) He catches Tooley Graham the biggest greenest, most beautiful bullfrog in Carter, Georgia. 2) He finds the Water Wonder 4000. 3) He becomes friends with Viola. This book tells the tale of the summer Owen Jester will soon not forget.Comments: This book will probably attract a younger reader. There is no real suspense or big action. Owen learns how to work with others and follow is gut on what is right, but he is not a perfect kid and his attitude is poor sometimes. This would be a good book for parents to discuss actions & consequences with.By: Emily K. less
