Logan and his friend Benedict are playing tag in their local library. Suddenly, Logan is caught by a mysterious man. The mysterious man decided to punish Logan by blowing “dust” into Logan’s face. The dust makes it so that Logan can only speak in puns. In order to break the spell, Logan must find 7 oxymorons, 7 palindromes, and 7 anagrams. Join Logan on this “punny” frustrating adventure!

Opinion: 

This book was easy to read and had a simple and steady storyline. It has the same kind of writing style as Gary Paulson’s newer books like “Masters of Disaster” and “Lawn Boy”.  This book would be perfect for a read-aloud in a classroom setting. It seemed like the author wanted to write a funny book for kids and teach them a little about English at the same time! A great addition to this book would be a sequel. A good grade to read this book would 2nd or 3rd grade. Overall, an entertaining book.
