I really love Holiday books. We have bins of books for different holidays
that we bring up through the year to spice up the kids’ selection of
books. Sadly we have a lot of middle
reader Halloween books that the boys picked out . . . but they won’t read them
as they look “too scary.” I think I may
end up reading them on my own one of these days!!
Daniel (my 9-year old) was VERY happy to see It’s
Halloween, I’m Turning Green by Dan Gutman in our collection. Daniel is a huge Dan Gutman fan. He loves Gutman’s humor, especially in The
Genius Files series. He read the first
one as part of our local library’s youth book club and we listened to the
second book in The Genius Files this summer on our family trips and were very
entertained.
It’s Halloween, I’m Turning Green involves the shenanigans
of AJ and his friends as they go trick-o-treating. Tragedy strikes when there candy is stolen by
a Halloween monster. Who is the
Halloween monster and how can they stop him?
This book is part of the My Weird School series and is a special book in
the series – but it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
Daniel enjoyed the humor of the story, the pictures by
Jim Paillot, and that it was an easy read for him. He also loved the Halloween facts at the end
of the book as well as the activities.
He really liked looking at the two pictures to find the differences
between them.
Overall, It’s Halloween, I’m Turning Green is a fun
Halloween book for grade school readers who are looking for something humorous
and not overtly scary.
