Review by Lexi

• I think that this book deserves 4 ½ out of 5
  stars. It was a good book but not my favorite.
  
• My favorite part was when Kirk put gum under a
  desk and Jack tripped him and he got a wad of gum
  on his knee.
  
• I didnt think that when the author was talking
  about Jacks favorite kind of gum and his very
  sensitive nose that it belonged.
  
• I would change when Jack fell in the hall and his
  dad asked if he could pick him up and Jack said
  no. I dont think that belonged either.
  
• I would highly recommend this book.

Review by Sarah

• I give this book 4 stars out of 5.
• I gave this rating because I liked it but, it
  isn't my favorite.
  
• I like this book because it reminded me of a book
  by Andrew Clements called The School Story.
  
• My least favorite part was when Jacks dad
  offered him a hand, but Jack didnt take it.
  
• I wish the author told us what happened to
  Eddie.
  
• I think you should read this book.

Review by Will

• I give this book 5 stars out of 5.
• The reason why I give this book 5 stars out of 5
  is because the author described the settings
  very well and it was an exciting book.
  
• If I could change anything about this book I
  would make it longer.
  
• My favorite part of the book was when Jack was on
  the bell tower because I could see very it
  clearly.
  
• I would recommend this book right away.
