The Notebook of Doom

review 1: Troy Cummings is coming to Brooks school elementary 11/19!!!---Parents approach me weeks later to recount how their son hasn't stopped drawing and/or writing since Troy Cummings's 11/19 visit or how their daughter has been begging for #6, #7, and #8 in The Notebook of Doom series for Christmas though these titles are months away from publication. Mr. Cummings's humor and talent captivated the entire audience, which made for a delightful family event. And to watch an autographing line that snaked the length of the cafeteria with kids physically vibrating from excitement made my heart swell. The positive outcomes of Troy Cummings's visit reached far beyond his presentation. In the weeks leading up to his arrival, teachers in classrooms across K-4 grade levels read aloud Rise... more of the Balloon Goons while students listened at the edge of their seats. Most impressive, however, is the number of parents who have shared how his visit was an experience that will stay with their son or daughter long after they leave Brooks School.
review 2: Alexander and his father (a dentist) moves to a new town. The morning of his first day of school, they stop at a diner where there is one of those "bendy balloon guys that businesses put out to attract customers." Wait? Did that balloon guy just attack their car? Impossible. But when they come out of the diner, the balloon guy is gone and all four of their tires are flat. Hmmm. When Alex finally manages to get to his new school, it seems deserted except for more of those balloon guys. What's going on? The Alexander finds a notebook that describes all these really strange monsters like rhinoceraptors and forkupines. Who wrote this book? Are these monsters in the area?This series is written around the third grade reading level and might be good for some reluctant readers. less
