Mishker | otra reseña | May 2, 2019 | This is a good book portraying what many adolescence experience. It is, primarily, about a twelve-year-old boy and his friend and the mayhem they experience one summer. It is also about insecurities and "finding oneself". Brian has an additional challenge since he is adopted. However, this story strongly suggests each individual has issues each has to overcome.
Brian receives a Free Pizza card on his birthday that is not free pizza at all. This is just one event in a very confusing, yet spectacular, time period surrounding his twelfth birthday. It is surely one he will remember!
This story is well-written, with humor, action adventure and mystery included within iuts pages. However, I would not recommend it to those I am close to because of the occasional profanity, I feel, ruined it for older elementary and young adult reading. Although profanity is ramped in society, I feel it should not be encourage, especially among children. It is a poor use of literary content.
The characters were developed well and the scenes were easily visualized. The Book Title and Cover were eye-catching.
*This book was gifted me with no requirement for a positive review. This is my honest review.

LAWonder10 | otra reseña | May 1, 2019 | The first ¾ of this book is highly entertaining and comes to a natural ending. The rest of the book is still entertaining but left me confused. YA sensitive to dead farm animals and mild swearing will not enjoy this but most would find parts hilarious and the overall premise engaging

JaiW | otra reseña | Mar 7, 2014 | This is a really good children's reader... ideal for boys who like dirt , getting into scrapes and all things gross and alien. There is a giant hole in the market for books like this.
All in all, a well written adventure book for children that I have no hesitation in recommending.

The Cannibal Anaconda is a delightful children's book written by G.C. McRae and illustrated by David Anderson. The illustrations are cute and imaginative and add to the appeal of the story. The story uses the engaging techniques of repetition and rhyme as the child makes excuses, blaming the cannibal anaconda for making him eat the missing cheese, chocolate, and potato chips. The mother gives her son chores to do as a consequence of lying. However, the tables turn when the mother is missing something she particularly likes, and the son reminds her of the rule about lying.2

What a lovely nice book this is, especially for kids. Told it as a bed time story to my youngsters (first translating it into Dutch). They were particularly interested in the nice illustrations,. The end is a real small surprise.Now it started to serve them learning some English as well.

Free Pizza is a charming, wholesome and amusing story about a very typical 12 year old boy. I immediately felt as if Brian could be any 12 year old boy that I had known, always hungry, trying to do his best, but somehow keeps getting in trouble. One of the things that I liked best in the book was that Brian was adopted, but that is not what the story centers around. Even though Brian should be focused on the momentous event of meeting his birth mother and discovering a whole other family, it takes a back seat to his own family and the craziness of Danny's family. There were elements of suspense and adventure tied in with Danny's neighbor, Grantree and an expensive stamp collection as well as Danny's sick aunt and having to find Alvin a place to stay. Between Brian's family, his birth mother's family and Danny's family, the fact that there is no normal is really highlighted. Each of these families are unique and a little crazy in their own way, but all of them share love and acceptance.
