Summary: There's three boys and they have a book you see...
Review: ...because he will be laughing so hard he will give himself away. My 7-year-old's passion for reading has been largely fueled by the Time Warp trio. If you are looking for something with boy heros that is engaging and VERY funny (from you kid's perspective), this is for you.

Girls too, especially those who appreciate a good booger joke now and then.

Makes those Magic Tree House kids look like the Brady bunch.

Summary: Easy introduction to other great books
Review: My son recently wrote the following:

The Time Warp Trio books contain amazing pictures by Lane Smith and humorous stories by Jon Scieszka (of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales fame). Time Warp Trio books are entertaining and easy to read and were probably written to encourage kids who don't usually read much to read more. For example, in Summer Reading Is Killing Me, Joe, Fred, and Sam are sucked through The Book into "storyland," where "the Boss" (a big teddy bear) is disposing of all of the protagonists (the "heroes") in books and making the antagonists ("bad guys") the main characters; thus, Curious Mr. Twit, The Devil in the Willows, etc. So, just by reading this one simple book, kids who aren't as interested in reading may become more enthusiastic about even better books, like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Hobbit, The Twits, Aesop's Fables, Dracula, Bridge to Terabithia, and Lord of the Flies, to name a few.

Summary: Absolutely Terrific!
Review: The Time Warp Trio set out on their best adventure yet, when Fred leaves their school's summer reading list stuck inside the pages of their time travel vehicle, "The Book". Now, the three are stuck in literature, where the bad and evil characters are out to get all the good ones and take over the stories. This is a wonderfully written, witty, funny story that will have your kids laughing out loud. Perfect for third through sixth graders, kids will recognize characters from stories they've read and some that parents and teachers have read to them. A page turner to the end, this is the perfect book to read once the school year has ended. The only negative thing I can say about Summer Reading is Killing Me, is that it's over way too soon.
