review 1: Athlete vs Mathlete reviewGenre: Sports/RealisticAR level: 3.9Grade appropriate: 3rd and upRATING BREAKDOWN: Overall: 3/5-- It was a fine book. It addresses sibling rivalry and treating others with respect. (Don't worry! I won't tell the kids that! They'd never read it!)Creativity: 3/5-- Basic sibling rivalry, nerd proves himself as an athlete and his school and family dynamics change.Characters: 5/5-- Boys were likable and realistic.Engrossing: 5/5-- It is definitely written for kids so while that's a good thing, Disney made for TV movies don't really appeal to me either. The kids will like it.Writing: 3/5Appeal to kids: 5/5-- Our kids who like the sports genre will like it and it reminded me of High School Musical (minus the romance.) If I can convince kids that's what ... moreit's like they'll give it a chance.Appropriate length to tell the story: 5/5-- Short and sweet.CONTENT: Language: noneSexuality: noneViolence: noneDrugs/Alcohol: none
review 2: Great book for boys, especially those who struggle with their identity and who people think they are - whether it be sporty, smart, quiet, popular, etc. The secondary characters and their attitudes seem pretty genuine to the real world and help maintain the sense of realness in the story. This book is also fairly easy to read which makes it good for a wide age range and reluctant readers.I received a copy of this book as a judge for the Cybils awards. All opinions are strictly my own. less
