Opinion:
Samantha Spinner and the Spectacular Specs was a good book because of the suspense. Another reason I liked this book was because of the odd ways the characters travel. The way they travel the most is by slidewalks - sidewalks that move. Sometimes Samantha and Nipper travel by rocket ships or a balcony bus. One reason I didn't like this book was because of all of the places the characters traveled. They were in so many places at once that I couldn't remember where they were at what time. Another thing I didn't like was how the author sometimes left the reader in the dark. Sometimes the author didn't finish explaining what he was talking about. I would recommend. I would recommend this book for ages 10 – 12 because of the simple vocabulary and the scary plot.
