Review by Satya Rajendra, Grade 7<\/span><\/p>\n

\"noggin\"<\/p>\n

Noggin<\/em> by John Corey Whaley<\/h2>\n

Noggin<\/span><\/i> is an excellent, must-read book by John Corey Whaley. The story is full of funny jokes and hilarious moments. The book is full of positive roles models and messages. The novel has some mature content for teen readers, such as vulgar language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The characters do not evolve all together but at their own pace, making the story even more enjoyable. This is a good way to write a story, but the author focuses on the main character\u2019s path the most and pays less attention to other characters. The ending to the story was not a normal happy ending; it ended abruptly. This was a cool change from what most authors do with books: having the book have a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book was a very good read. The characters were funny at times and at other times they were completely serious, changing between the two moods seamlessly. The story was funny; I even laughed aloud while I read this in class. During some serious parts, the characters acted in a way most people would act, although the main character Travis would act differently than he would normally would, as he had taken a five-year-long nap with only his head. The characters also get angry and have different emotions at exactly the right time. Overall, this book was an awesome book to read and I think all teens 13+ years old should check out a copy of this book from their library.<\/span>\u00a0I would rate it 4.5\/5 stars. -Satya Rajendra, Grade 7<\/span><\/p>\n
