Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-03 00:00:00 Christopher Peinado ~ this book was a Review Copy Just couldn't get into this one, and my two children who are boy and girl, 6 and 8, weren't the target audience either. The story is about a boy who has shrinking episodes where he gets down to the size of a toe. The weirder thing is that he has a brother, Pablo, who is always small that no one knows about and who was born in his ear. (Reminds me of Zeus and Athena) Positives: Lively narrative with a school setting that older children will probably relate to: there's a bully and diverse school population. Negatives: Older kids probably won't mind, but many adults are not going to like that negative tone that the Funkster takes towards the females in his family. Overall, an average sort of book that just wasn't our cuppa at the moment. Perhaps in a few years. Book for Tweeners - a review of "Escape of the Mini-Mummy

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-25 00:00:00 Scott Shunkwiler 2.5 stars An average book. This surprised me as Oliver is a funny and talented author. This one was a bit blah though upper elementary will enjoy the humor. I didn't care for the constant female bashing though I see why his main character felt that way. This is the second book in the series. Daniel and Vu want to win the diorama competition so they can go to the Lakers game. Their main competition is Vince (Pizza Prince) who pulls out new nasty tricks to win. Pedro (the small brother) comes to their rescue in several ways and the two brothers continue to learn about each other. Daniel again shrinks but isn't sure how it happens. Adventurous, simple to follow text.
