Written and Illustrated by John Loren
The cover page is what caught my eye. The illustrations are well done, but the story is a little long. (It reminded me of a video my children use to watch called the greed monster.) There is a lot going on in this book. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in, it is a good story for you. I think students will like this book, especially those who like experimenting with things.
