Jesper Jinx (Book 1) introduces us to the irrepressible Jesper, his family and close friends. We learn that the author is sharing Jesper's stories without his permission and that we must all be careful not to let Jesper know. In this edition we learn about Snowy the cat, and an unfortunate incident with red paint, and a strange new student at Jesper's School.
Jesper is back and is learning how to fish, a difficult task for a young man who is afraid of worms! Other stories feature the experiences of the ferret his sister is minding, and a visit to the author from Jesper's dad. Entertaining and full of laughs as usual.
Jesper Jinx is back and causing more trouble than either. When he is not annoying his sister, or entertaining his pal Oliver with a variety of pranks and tricks, he is thinking about his future girlfriend (hopefully), the beautiful Chloe. Will Jesper get the girl? Will he win the 50-pound note for capturing a photo of the rare purple buzzard? Fun for the whole family.

Max leads a pretty normal life. His mother is a little over zealous in her determination to win a health smoothie contest with the most disgusting flavors, his younger sister is a pain in the neck, and his father is busy keeping both of them happy while working, but, at least, he has his pet spider. Until his spider dies and becomes bird food. But that's exactly what needs to happen to set off an exciting, informative and fun adventure.
Humor and action are written big in this book. Max is a wonderful ten-year-old, who does the best he can given his situation. He's clever, yet misunderstood at times. His love and curiosity for animals not only makes Max easy to cheer for but gives him just the right touch of sweetness which is hard to ignore. It's simply fun...and something kids can easily relate to...as he deals not only with his wacky family but with the crazy problem which stumble his way.
The author meets the readers on a more personal level by addressing them directly. This adds an immediate connection which draws in and makes the reader feel involved. Although hitting on fantasy, the animals in the book also poke reality and offer the reader some interesting insights on lesser known animals in some spots...not everything is sheer imagination. I found this connection to be a nice touch.
One of the best aspects of this book can be found in the illustrations. They are bright and bold, and there are many of them. Although the length of the book might appear daunting, at least a third of the tale seems to be illustrations. These not only add life to the book but make it perfect for even reluctant readers. So, this receives kudo points from me!
All in all, it's simply a fun read and highly recommendable for especially boys and reluctant readers, or those who love an adventurous, humorous read.
I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it enough to want to leave my honest thoughts.… (más)
