Book Review by: Matthew Luis

Looking for Bobowicz

By: Daniel Pinkwater

When Nick moved from the leafy suburb to a muggy urban Hoboken and his bike was stolen, he wasn’t pleased. I loved reading this book.

When Nick moved to Hoboken New Jersey, he did not like it. His new house was built about one hundred years ago. The house had no backyard, no front yard, and no trees. Inside, his house had no AC so it was hot. But then, he went downstairs in the basement and found lots of junk. When he was looking around, he saw a rusty old fan. He checked to see if it worked and it did but it made a lot of noise. So he took it apart and piece by piece brought it to his room. The he put oil in it and put it back together. He also made some new friends.

In the beginning, Nick doesn’t like the house but in the end he makes some friends and has a cool summer.
