- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is like a runaway horse- the plot goes in every possible direction, quickly. I think the author just tries to do way too much, and the result is preposterous. There are some good funny moments, but they are strung together haphazardly. As you might imagine, the illustrations are fantastic. Auggie's stories and pictures were better than this one. More of those, please.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't normally read middle-grade, but this was a selection for my postal book club and I gave it a shot. It was a fun, quick diversion, and my 7-year-old loved reading it with me.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I liked the illustrations but the ghost part was dumb.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Augie's dad runs Fairy Tale Place, a run-down amusement park, which contributes to the surreal atmosphere of Augie's life. Initially, his struggles seem fairly mundane: summer school, bullies, and crushes. But as the summer progresses, things get stranger and stranger: werewolves, ghosts, and UFOs. Or are all of those things just in Augie's head? Is Augie going crazy -- or is there something more sinister at hand?This one didn't really work for me -- it was a little too surreal and absurd. I like fantasy, and it seems like this should have been my sort of book, but it just wasn't. Another reader might enjoy it more than I did.
