Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-31 00:00:00 Gerald Huston This book was absolutely amazing! The main character - Ambrose - had a really interesting character, and the way the story evolved was really interesting. I really enjoyed following Cosmo's story as well, as his past experiences had played a big role on his present. I would recommend this to people who want a just-right book, but want a good book too. It really portrays the connection between two people very well and shows how two totally different people all have something in common.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-16 00:00:00 Lori Ericsson Word Nerd by Susin Nielsen is a very cute book. It is about Ambrose, a boy who's father died while working on a construction site. Ambrose has gone through a lot with bullies at public school, so decides to be home schooled. The only people who can really be considered Ambrose's friends are his mom and the landlords (barely). Then, Ambrose meets Cosmo, the landlords' son (who happens to be an ex con and a "druggie". Cosmo likes Scrabble, just like Ambrose and they become very good friends. The only problem is that Ambrose's overprotective mother doesn't approve of Cosmo. This book is pretty good. It is a cute story of an ex con and a twelve (and 3/4) year old becoming friends through Scrabble. Their friendships have some ups and downs, but in the end, it turns put okay. I would recommend this book because it is a good book, actually relatable book, with no "corny" events. As mentioned, it has a cute story, and you can really understand all of the events. Toward the end (maybe the last 50 pages or so), there's quite a bit of action. This is a good book to read, and most types of readers would enjoy this book. Happy Reading! -Madelyn
