My son loved this book.  He enjoys all of this author's books.  You can hear him laughing while reading.  We have had to limit his reading at bedtime because he can't stop reading the book.  He told us the books are addictive.  He is 10 years old and starting reading them at 9 years old.

My son got this for his tenth bday and we've since given several copies as gifts. He loves trying out the simple tricks and he has gone back to this book several times over the last six months.

I was choosing some books for my 10-year-old son to read for his Summer reading program, and this is one I chose. When we got it, he said he would love to read it! It sounds like a good book and I think he will enjoy reading it.

My 11-year-old son is really into the series. He devours every book he reads but these books are the ones he rereads repeatedly.

My ten year old son loves this series so much that he can't put these books down. In the last 24 hours he read 1-1/2 books. He tells me that this is now his favorite book series.

If you have a young son (or daughter) some other book series I recommend that my son really enjoyed are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson/Red Pyramid/Heroes of Olympus, Ranger's Apprentice/Brotherband Chronicles, Fablehaven, Beyonders, Pendragon, Michael Vey, The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, The 13th Reality, The Tapestry, Escape from Furnace, Leviathan, Enclave, The Mysterious Benedict Society, The False Prince, The Fire Within, Gordon Korman's many series, Hatchet, Haddix, The Mad Scientist's Club, plus when my son was younger he loved Tom Swift (the newer fourth and fifth series), The Magic Thief, and The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet.

My 8 year old son really loves this book! This book has been a great incentive for him to pick up and start reading on his own. There are some very slight inappropriate phrases in the book, but nothing too crazy. Overall, this book has been fantastic for him, and most importantly, it has kept his interest for months now. There is a lot to look at!

My 10 year old son loved it.  He does not like to read, but I was able to get him to settle down and read this book.

My son loves this series! He's 10 years old and laughs out loud throughout the entire book. He sits and reads the whole book in a matter of hours and then shares his favorite pages with me. I have to admit that I as an adult also think this book is hilarious!

My 10yr old son asked for this book/series. I will say this. I think if you have an advanced reader, this will be a day read like it was for my son. I'm pretty sure he could get through the series in 2 days :)  It's an age appropriate /written series. I heard my son telling a couple of his friends that he loved it (and that it was an easy read when satisfying reading requirements for class - chuckle) I think this is just brain candy for my son who reads on a high school level. He doesn't have to think too much about it and I equate it reading something like a comic book (tho it IS a real chapter book for the age group) Anyway...i gave it 4 stars because I think my son is a bit too advanced for it to be geared towards 5th graders. But what enjoyment he got out of it... totally worth 5 stars.  :)

Mind you that I have not read this book. But I feel qualified to review it because:
A. My son has given me hours-long synopses
B. He never puts it down
C. He begged me to preorder the second one coming out in August
D. He sits there reading it for hours and laughing to himself

He also told me he enjoyed the way it blends fiction and non fiction and has developed a new interest in cave men.

He never read the Jedi Academy books as he's not interested in Star Wars (trust me, that kills me). But he is 7 so there's time!

My 9 year old son says that overall the book was great.  He liked the main  characters and loved reading about all of their pranks.  From what he has  told me, it seems like the main message of the book is that that friendship and fun are more important than being the best at someone else's expense.  I can tell he throughly enjoyed the book because he kept running over to me and reciting whole sections of the story and then would run/dance back to the book because he was so excited to keep reading!  A definite recommendation for 9-10 y.o. boys..

My almost 12 yr old son wasn't really interested in the book at first. I opened it up and read aloud a page or 2 and since then he's picked it up on his own several times and often brings it to me to share a new funny part he likes. Today he took it to middle school to share with his friends - that's a win in my book!

My ten year old son loves this book, he couldn't put it down! He keeps asking when the next one will come out! He would literally laugh out loud at times!

My 10 year old son loves these books. If your kid is into books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Trapped in a Video Game they will probably like this series also.
