Room One by Andrew Clements


I have to admit I wasn’t so impressed with this one. Room One is a mystery, so I thought it might be a typical Clements plus a little suspense - but it wasn’t that mysterious at all, and the plot seemed a little thin. I wasn’t that drawn in (although I did read it in a day, so I was interested enough to keep reading) and got a bit bored with the main character. I think I’ll recommend it for kids who keep trying to pick from the very few “cheezy” books I have in my classroom library, and hope it helps push them towards better books.
