Sweet Farts

review 1: This light-hearted story follows Keith Emerson, a 10-year-old boy, in his struggles to get a science project together before the annual science fair. There is huge expectation on him because the previous year he made "sweet farts" which are sweets that make farts smile nice. That project was a huge success and he feels under pressure to deliver something as successful this time around.My first concern was whether this book would be too toilet-y for my tastes what with its title and all that but I needn't have worried. The humour was fine although based around farts the majority of the time. The rest of the humour was mainly generated from the banter between Keith and his friends.The book flowed along nicely although it did take Keith an awfully long-time to get an idea for... more his science project - I'd already guessed what he'd do some time before - and also the science fair itself was over in a couple of pages despite the whole novel pretty much leading up to it. Further this book is a second in a series but doesn't rely on having any prior knowledge from the previous book as I followed it easily enough despite not having read the first one.It took me about 2-hours to read and is for kids but adults can enjoy it too.
review 2: My son didn't get excited about his summer reading list leading into 1st grade. I got the sequel to Sweet Farts in the mail (Rippin' it Old School) to review and his face lit up. We read the first 4 chapters before bed and the first thing he did when he woke up the next day was ask to read more of the book. He's able to read several sentences before handing it over to me and has asked for the first book so he doesn't miss any more adventures from this author who certainly knows how to reach boys. less
