LitPick Review
Rex Zero, The Great Pretender is the last book in the Rex Zero series. Rex is a 7th grade boy whose family is moving to a new school district. He is not happy about having to make all new friends at his new school and about 3 big high school bullies. He is also very concerned about losing his old life and his old friends. The book is about how he deals with these problems.
Opinion:
My opinion of this book is that any boy my age would like it a lot. I really enjoyed it because Rex deals with the same kinds of problems we all deal with, such as how to stay close with our friends despite obstacles in our way, and how to deal with bullies. The fact that Rex is the narrator helps make it easy to understand what he is feeling and where he is coming from. I liked the book as much as crispy turkey bacon in the morning. My favorite part is when Rex and his class at his new school write a story together. The description of how they do this is really funny. The fun he has doing this helps the reader see that he is adjusting to his new social situation, while remaining connected to his old friends.
