The seven episodes in this book will refresh the memories of us older folks and will entertain our children, offering a realistic vision of school, but with a grand sense of humor. The seven stories that make up this work tell about situations that occur inside and outside the classroom, such as the moment of a first kiss, the most daring kid in the class, the girl who can’t stand gym class, and the boy who is in love but doesn’t know how to show it. The book manages two things uncommonly found in a single book: to interest and to entertain. Its author has written real, fresh stories of school days which any student (or teacher) can identify with.

Stuffed Kangaroo, the spy, notes that bars no longer harbor mysterious people, and movie theaters are no longer the scene for exchanging secret messages. Just when his spy agency is closing and he finds himself the Last Spy, he gets a call from a Mysterious Millionaire who hires him to solve many more mysteries. As always, the most powerful reason to read a book is the desire to find out what happened. That’s why the police cases that comprise this book are ideal for reluctant readers to rediscover the pleasure of reading, even if only as a means to satisfy their curiosity.

The Word Rebellion tells the story of the Clum family, whose members are affected by language-related illness. This takes many different forms: in some cases, the characters are unable to pronounce a certain letter or two letters together; in others, it affects their conversation style. Through humor, irony, and ingenuity, this novel allows readers to enjoy language and words, and at the same time, reflect about the importance of communication.
