Justin Case
review 1: Justin thinks he's going to start his third grade year in the same class as his two best friends, but he soon finds out that he's in a completely different class with a completely awful teacher. Combine that with the fact that his stuffed animals aren't getting along (not to mention that his favorite one is missing!!!) and that his little sister seems to be fitting in perfectly in kindergarten, and this poor kid is a mess.I was immediately drawn in with this book thanks to the journal format and the short, stream of consciousness style of writing. Reading this, I could tell exactly how the poor kid felt. I wanted to keep reading simply because I wanted things to turn out better for him! I would highly recommend this, with an emphasis to boys and readers who are worr... moreiers.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book--more than I was expecting. Justin is a worrier, fears attention, and kind of just wants to blend in. As a wannabe wallflower while I was in school, I totally get where he's coming from, however I was not quite as much of a worrier as Justin is. Although I still tend to over analyze, as my husband can attest.So many kids are worried about entering a new grade, making friends, fitting in, and more and for that I think many will identify at least in part with Justin. I admit, there were times when I wanted Justin to "just get over it" but when a situation is in front of you and causing you concern, it's hard to not over analyze.Overall, Justin's adventures are fun, funny, and something kids can identify with. Recommended, grades 3 and up. less

Just another Wimpy Kid knockoff. Tiresome.
