review 1: Hokey Pokey was a town that Jack and his friends lived in. Jack was considered "The leader." The kids in this town could do what ever they pleased so it was CRAZY. Adults would never ever be near such a place it was only for kids after all. One day Jack finds that his bike is missing, find out what happens and all the other events in Hokey PokeyHokey Pokey was an good book to read, because all of his other books were so different. I thought this might be one of those books you might not want to read but, Jerry proved me wrong . Hokey Pokey was a great fit for me because i would sometimes have to go back and read that part over again.I would recommend this book to anybody looking for a different twist to a Jerry Spinelli book. This book would be a wonderful fit if you were ... morewondering what it would be like with no adults around. Jerry Spinelli is a great author and i would recommend this book to you.
review 2: Jack and his friends live in Hokey Pokey, a Neverland-like place where everyone is a child. Their lives are consumed with play - riding bikes, watching cartoons, playing on the playground. But one day, something changes in Jack, and he realizes that his life will never be the same.This novel is written in verse, and it took me awhile to get into it at first. But once I let myself get lost in the magical world of Hokey Pokey, I fell for it. It's a beautiful coming of age story. Not sure if kids will like it though - I'll have to test it out on a couple of my readers in August. less

His books can be hit or miss. This was a miss for me.
