This gem of a novel takes place in Pittsburgh in 1952. Franny Katzenback, while recovering from polio, reads and falls in love with the brand-new book Charlotte's Web. Bored and lonely and yearning for a Charlotte of her own, Franny starts up a correspondence with an eloquent flea named Fleabrain who lives on her dog's tail. While Franny struggles with physical therapy and feeling left out of her formerly active neighborhood life, Fleabrain is there to take her on adventures based on his extensive reading. It's a touching, funny story set in the recent past, told with Rocklin's signature wit and thoughtfulness.

Five Stars

A good story for young people and adults young at heart

Good book

Sad and sweet, happy in the end. I love books like that. Joanne Rocklin did a phenomenal job on this book and I enjoyed it greatly.

Youâll be itching to read this book!

Fleabrain Loves Franny is about an 11 year-old girl named Francine, or Franny, for short, who has polio. The story is set in Pittsburgh in the 1950âs. Nurse Olivegarten is the nurse that does exercises with Franny every day at 9:00A.M. and 4:00P.M. To Franny, the hot water packs and the exercises hurt ALOT, and to her frustration they donât appear to be working. She has a dog named Alf, and a sister named Minot, or Min, for short. She has a dad named Sammy, and a mother named Muriel. But, one day she found the very thing she was looking for, a friend. Specifically, a flea, named Fleabrain.

I like Fleabrain because even though he is tiny, he has a huge brain filled with lots of smart information. He is also interesting because he can make things like a formula, FB saliva #1- #3, that can miniaturize you. My third reason is that he doesnât care how big or small he is, he can still do great things and can have a giant mind.

I am a little bit like Franny because I also have a copy of Charlotteâs Web, and it also one of my favorite books. I think that Franny is inspiring because to her, polio or not, she can still do great things!

My favorite part was when she and Fleabrain visited the Seven Wonders of the World; Stonehenge, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Colosseum, The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, The Hagia Sophia, The Taj Mahal, and The Great Wall of China. It was fun to learn about all those sights and see their Travel Journal, which held interesting facts about the places.

The author, Joanne Rocklin, has a good vocabulary that she used in the book. I think that the newspaper clips were a great touch! She made the story exhilarating and fun adventure with the flea being a friend!

I felt it was a little challenging to keep track of all the professors, scientists, dates and sayings the author provided. There was even some German and French used in this book!

Review by Brooke Z., age 8, Delaware Valley Mensa

A good introduction to polio & people with physical disabilities

I'm not generally a reader of middle-grade fiction, but this book was recommended to me because it's about a child who uses a wheelchair. I used to be a child in a wheelchair; now I'm an adult in a wheelchair. So you get the connection.

There's a lot in this story that really hit home for me â and I think it does a terrific job of introducing young readers to some of the realities of disability. It's especially strong on the odd and often unfair reactions of others.

Members Reviews:

Nothing New

I have enjoyed the books "A Street Cat Named Bob" and "The World According to Bob". This book is a compilation of parts of those two books directly. Had I realized that, I would not have ordered it.

I don't know how it would have been as a stand alone.

I LOVE BOB!!!!

Any additional comments?

This was great. It's just a shorter version of all the fun stuff that James and Bob got up to. I thought there would be some stories that I hadn't heard but I didn't care. I love these stories so much :)

Sweet

I haven't read the book 'A street cat named bin' and was a bit disappointed when I didn't find it in audible (maybe it's just my terrible searching skills). But this book is (what I have imagined as) the story of Bob and James and it couldn't be any sweeter.

Pathetic story

If you could sum up For the Love of Bob in three words, what would they be?

Pathetic, lovely, striking

Who was your favorite character and why?

Definitely Bob, he is the creator of this audiobook.

Have you listened to any of Kris Milness other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am sorry but I do not remember.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

All animal lovers like me should definitely enjoy listening to this audiobook.

A little sentimental ...

... in writing style for my taste, but nevertheless a marvellous story about an astonishing feline and his man. One contradiction strikes me though; James speaks about his struggle with what he refers to as 'drugs', and how he finally left them behind, but mentions several times that he still drinks alcohol, apparently not considering it to be a drug. Given the important role which his addiction plays in this story, I think this should be made clearer: drug addiction is drug addiction, whether the drug concerned is legal and socially sanctioned or not.

Every Kid Wants to be a Super Hero

What kid does not want to be a super hero? Books that are about super heroes are even better because they encourage kids to read about something that they love. This is the 6th volume in this series and I loved this one just as much as Iâve loved the rest of the books. While there is a super hero theme, there is also a wonderful lesson taught in the book about friendship, courage and trust, which I feel that every kid can never hear enough of, which is one of the reasons I loved this book.

Just in time for the Olympics: A gymnastics novel to flip for!

Joey Jordan loves gymnastics: the thrill of performing a backflip on the beam, the cheers of the audience when she sticks a landing. But even with all her talent and style, she's never quite made it to that gold medal stand.

Now big changes shake up Joey's life in and out of the gym. Joey wants to break out some daring new beam and floor routines - but she'll have to defy her strict coach to do it. Her best friend, Alex, is thinking about quitting gymnastics for good. And an old friend named Tanner just moved back to town, and he's suddenly gotten very, very cute. Can Joey handle all the challenges coming her way, and make her gold medal summer happen at last?

Drawing on her real-life experience as a competitive gymnast, acclaimed novelist Donna Freitas delivers both a terrific gymnastics story and a classic novel about stretching some limits, bending the rules, and finding your balance.

Perfect

Needed it for my Olympic display in our high school and students to read & check it out. USA! USA!!

Nice light reading for kids interested in figure skating

I don't think this is the most well written book out there, but I've been reading a chapter a night to my seven year old who is mad about figure skating and she loves it. Esperanza is a good role model and the book consistently emphasizes her hard work, commitment, and the sacrifices she's made to achieve her goals which I like. The boy drama and mean girl aspect to the story isn't my favorite but it is definitely holding my daughter's interest.

Great for young ice-skating fans

Esperanza Flores, called Espi, is a sixteen-year-old figure skater who gets her big break when she places second at Nationals the year one of the top US skaters is out with a knee injury. Unexpectedly, she's on the US Olympic team.

I love figure skating. I did it myself as a child, and I've never forgotten how much fun it is. Plus, it's one of the funnest sports to watch. Thus, I had very high hopes for GOLD MEDAL WINTER. For the most part, it delivered.

I liked that GOLD MEDAL WINTER emphasizes that ice skating is tough and requires a great deal of practice and dedication. Like most performers and athletes, Espi is superstitious. Belief in yourself and not giving into mind games or the pressure is also part of winning. But Espi gets caught up in a lot of drama on her way to the games.

I really didn't like the love triangle in GOLD MEDAL WINTER. Espi has made it the the Olympics, something she's been working for for years, but instead she's going to spend her time worrying about boys? Like Espi's coach, I was disappointed that she was giving into the drama. I was also disappointed that in the end, their isn't much description of Espi's routines.

GOLD MEDAL WINTER is a quick middle-grade read that will satisfy ice skating and Olympics fans. Author Donna Freitas incorporates a lot of detail about how the team is picked and such that adds to the verisimilitude of the story. Espi's Dominican heritage also adds another layer of interest to the story. Predicting the ending isn't much trouble, but the journey is fun.

Just in time for the winter olympics!

I've always loved to watch ice skating, although growing up in an area with no rink, I've never been able to skate myself.

From carefully-planted cockroaches to creme doughnut fights, Megin and Greg's antics keep them in constant trouble. But even as they think up new ways to bug each other, they are also growing up.

Captivating but Strange Story

This book has a great storyline that grabs the reader's attention and holds it. The ending was a bit unsatisfying to me, but maybe that's because there is a sequel coming.

When Quantum Physics Creates Superheroes...

Another fantastic novel by critically-acclaimed author, Matthew J. Kirby. I don't want to go into details because of spoil alerts, but I'll just say that the characters are very cool and their abilities are very superhero-esque mixed with a little quantum physics. Very cool stuff...

Deals with loss, love, lies, power, and control. Age appropriate for middle school and below. I've read all but one of this author's books, and you know I'm grabbing that last one now.

Can't wait for #2!

This was a really fun book! The characters were developed and likable, the pacing was perfect, the plot was engaging, the whole thing was just exciting and fun to read. I don't read a lot of youth fiction, but my 8 year old wanted to read this, so I did too. It was perfect for him! If you're looking for a quality youth fiction read, this one delivers. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Fun Adventure!

This author has me wrapped around his writing pen! I thoroughly enjoy anything written by him. He know how to tell a story and keep you coming back for more. READ this book...you won't be sorry!!!

Easy download to Kindle

My son gave me the excuse that he could not do his homework because he forgot his book at school. I downloaded the exact book on the kindle via Amazon and there went the excuse!!! This is a great way to keep kids entertained on a car ride as well, if they 'forget' their books.

Ending made me cry

The ending made me cry. That is the highest compliment I can give it. I can not wait for the next book. I hear the publisher has it. That is awesome. Hopefully we get it before the year is out.

AMAZING. My 9 year old loved this book and the first book Alien in My Pocket.

We do read a lot via our Kindles but this book had such a nice cover that it was fun to have the paperback version. My 9 year old often doesn't take time to read an entire book but once he started the first book, Alien in My Pocket, he was hooked and couldn't wait to read this book. I had to tell him to put it away at the dinner table. These books are a nice change from the same-old chapter books that seem to be out there.

Great Science, Great Read.

The Science Unfair was just as good as the first book in this series, with more extraterrestrial (as well as elementary school) hijinks sprinkled with interesting science tidbits and a great little experiment at the end to top it all off. Can't wait to read this to my kids some day.

My 3rd Grade Daughter LOVES These Books!

My daughter and her entire 3rd grade class LOVE this entire series. I ordered all 3 books, and I'm glad I did. My daughter even gave one of the books as a gift in her class book exchange, and the girl who received it squealed with excitement when she saw it!

Awesome Book I Highly Recommend It

This Book is pretty good I recommend it for anyone who likes aliens a being a "ninja" and traveling
