Genre:
Fantasy
Age: 8+
Description:
Fourth grade genius Mal and his talking dog Chad shrink themselves to
microscopic size and travel through time. However, dinosaurs seem like a piece
of cake compared to cute girls and a school bully.
Opinion: I
really didn’t plan on liking this as much as I did. Mal is a genius who turns
an old elevator into a time machine. Chad is a talking dog who really
likes human food because dog food is “yucky.” They have an endearing friendship
which in their adventures and humor makes me want to call Mal and Chad
this generation’s Calvin and Hobbes. Mal also reminds me of a younger Scott
Pilgrim. He’s so nerdy he’s cute. I can’t wait to read more. This series will
appeal to kids and teens.
