Sammer Tells Us About a Wimpy Kid!

Our good friend Sammer is the first boy of summer to send us a review. Let's see what he's been reading:

I am reading the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series. My! They are so funny. The first book is called A Novel in Cartoons, followed by Roderick Rules. Then there is The Last Straw and then Dog Days. The last one is The Ugly Truth. In each book Greg Heffley keeps getting into more trouble in every single one and it keeps getting funnier and funnier. Greg was always pushed around by his older brother, so he thought he could do all the tricks to his little brother Manny that Roderick did to him. But his parents protected Manny like a valuable item that you would die if you lost it, so Greg is pushed around by his little brother too. If they sound interesting to you, you should go and get them at the library!

Thanks, Sammer! A lot of guys like the Wimpy Kid books. A whole lot of guys! That's why I hate to bring this up but----I'm NOT a Wimpy Kid fan. Sorry! Greg Heffley just doesn't do it for me. "Why not??" you ask. Well, I don't have time to talk about it now (the library is really busy today) but I will when I review another book later on this week. How's that for grabbing your attention? Stay tuned, reading fans--same book time, same book channel!

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
