Operation: Dump the Chump

Rating:
Summary: I like this book.
Review: I read Operation Dump The Chump by Barbara Park. I really liked this book. My favorite part was when Robert dumped spiders in Oscar's room. Robert said they were black widows but they were not. Anyone who has a pesky brother or sister would like to read this book.

Summary: A Hysterical Look at Sibling Rivalry at its Hottest!
Review: OPERATION DUMP THE CHUMP is the story of two boys locked in mortal combat (otherwise known as "sibling rivalry") and one brother's ingenius and humorous attempt to rid himself of his scourge-of-a little brother.

Barbara Park has a wonderful gift of looking at the world through the eyes of a child. Her writing style captures the brutally honest way that children view parents, siblings, and the world at large.

I am using this book in a summer reading program; Ms. Park's entertaining style, wit, and the way she speaks the language of students, has made this book a great choice as one that will keep the attention of students.

Summary: Operation: Dump the Chump
Review: Operation: Dump The Chump

Operation: Dump the Chump is about a boy named Oscar who is having trouble living with his younger brother Robert, or 'Slobert'. After all the pranks Robert plays on Oscar, Oscar decides to take control by setting up the ultimate plan to make sure Robert is completely gone over the summer. By tricking his parents, Oscar believes he might just be able to send Robert to his neighbors. Even I enjoy pulling pranks, but I would never go this far just to toss out my younger sibling. Oscar's determination brings comedy to the book making the reader hang on his every word.
I enjoyed this book very much, mostly because of the comedy and pranks that went along with it. Also, the way the story is told comes from the view of Oscar, how he thinks about things from a kid's point of view. My favorite part of the book is when Robert lets out a box of spiders into Oscar's room, allowing Oscar to believe they were poisonous and could kill after he had just been bitten. I would recommend this book because it is funny and serious at the same time allowing all sorts of readers enjoy it. Specifically, I would only recommend this book to someone who is able to laugh, but can use their brains at the same time to understand the amazing story
