Editorial Review: Product Description: Phillip comes from a circus family, but all he really wants is to be a regular kid. After persuading his parents to let him move in with his aunt and uncle, he winds up in Hardingtown, where everyone is wild about dodgeball. When he gets slammed in the face with a speeding ball in gym class, he decides to take the dodgeball bully to court. But can a circus boy take on the Unofficial Dodgeball Capital of the World? This uproariously funny middle-grade novel carries an inspiring message about sticking to your beliefs, however unpopular they may be. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Dodgeball review from RaistlynI liked this book because this kid from the circus, a nobody went against the dodgeball capital of the world and tried to get things fair, and he did. Rating: - Education and Fun!The Stupendous Dodgeball Fiasco is a must read for every pre-teen in the country. Not just because it's a cute story filled with wonderful insight into the lives of circus people, but because it's a book about finding one's own niche in the word, believing one deserves better than life's circumstances, standing up for oneself, and really, it's about standing up for others when they're too afraid to stand up for themselves.

HE THINKS IT'S MISERABLE. NOW I KNOW THAT MOST BOOKS START OUT WITH A BORING BEGINNING, BELIEVE ME!!! BUT NOT WITH THIS BOOK, JUST START THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE BOOK AND WALLA, IT'S CAPTURED YOUR ...

Point is, it's advertised for 9 to 12 year olds. I'd say it's more for 9 to 90 year olds. It's a page turner and one fun read. Rating: - Fun, suspenseful, and smartI bought this book for my niece, but couldn't resist reading it myself before giving it to her. I was thoroughly entertained. Repka has written one of those rare children's stories that's as much fun for the parent as for the kid. It's clean and morality packed, but the message never overshadows the telling of a great story. From the premise (a kid wanting to escape from the circus) to the climax (his suing practically a whole town for being forced to play high-stakes dogdeball at school), the humor ... Read More: |
