Review
Fun story with an unusual premise. The cover alone grabbed the attention of my students when I displayed this book at school [I try to post a kids book that I am reading to spark conversation with my students]. Mac is a creative kid but he starts to wonder who he can trust when Staples seems to always know Mac's next move. A second book is due out February 7, 2011.
4 out of 5 stars
AR level of 5.1
Recommended for: fans of school stories, "mob"-type stories, older tweens and teens
Cautions: These are middle school "wise-guys" - no guns involved but there are some series beatings.
