The Extincts
Loved this book. Quirky and fun just like all good middle grade books should be. More, please.
Five Stars
Great book
Forget it
Adult might like but my 8 and 11 year olds didn't.
but in the best of ways
What can I say? Reading this to my son was such a pleasure!
So in short, the book is about and a boy and his (sort-of) friend battling to save a farm of (not so) extinct animals from his friend's crazy taxidermist step mother, who needs to stuff the ultimate animal in order to win the Golden Brain Spoon.
Sound weird? Well it is, but in the best of ways!
Actually, it's about the best Middle Grade novel I've read to my son all year--full of adventure and British wit, and a dash of rawness that grounds this adventure story in reality. It was wonderful the way this author so gently touched on the difficulties of singlemother-hood and struggling financially and the distant father all the while crafting a colorful, funny, story that kids would (and in the case of my son, did) eat up!
Enjoyed!
Big Hit with Middle Grade Readers
The Extincts will be a big hit with middle grade readers and anyone looking for a funny adventure story.
After George loses his bike outside of a shop, he needs a job to buy another one. It looks like a perfect opportunity when he sees a help-wanted notice for Wormestall Farm. But there aren't ordinary animals at Wormestall Farm; with aurochs instead of cows, a unicorn in the paddock, and a mini-kraken in the bathroom, George will have to keep his wits about him. When his friend's stepmother decides that these special animals need to become a part of her taxidermied menagerie, George will have to become a hero and protect them all.
