I love reading this book aloud to my 2nd grade students. There is abundant humor, a lot of action, and excellent dialogue. The kids especially love the disgusting giant with flatulence issues, and the fire-breathing dragon.
This is an excellent springboard into reading for reluctant but capable boy readers.

Finally Lane Smithh and Jim Szcieska have found their niche. These (now eleven?) stories are about to become a series on either Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. And this is the book that started it all. Alas.
The good thing is that through the eyes of young boys the era of the Middle Ages is debunked from myth - it was smelly, dirty, unhealthy, and those suits of armor made from aluminium today weighed a lot more in those days.
But the story reads like it has a formula already: cliffhanger at the end of Chapter 1 (where do the boys wind up?), cliffhanger at the end of Chapter 2 (the boys are about to be attacked), cliffhanger at the end of Chapter 3 (the Book that got them there is in peril/unattainable/out of reach), happy resolution at the end of the book.
It's the young person's version of Robert Ludlum. Pity. I bought the first four books on the strength of other books by this dynamic duo, but I will not be buying the rest. I don't buy Robert Ludlum because I don't buy formula at any level.
Life is way more dynamic than that.

Wow! This is probably one of the greatest books of all time. If your looking for a good quick read then find "Knights Of The Kitchen Table" by Jon Scieszka. It starts out with these three kids Joe, Fred, and Sam. when Joe finds a present that he missed, he is eager to open it. When he sees it from his magical Uncle Joe, he is even more excited. But to his surprise, it's a book. when he opens the magic book, it sucks h im and his two friends right into the book. It takes them back to mid-evil times. Now they have to fend for themselves and find the book to get out of this place. This is an excellent book. I would recommend this book to 6th graders and younger. But once again "Knights of the Kitchen Table" by Jon Scieszka is a wonderful book.
