This book is about a boy who just has so many ideas and just cant use lots of them until one day one invention comes along that changes his life................. For your information Im not a grownup Im 10 years old.I recomend this to high level readers.This is a great book for ages 9-13.READ IT!!! :0)

This is a great book. My third grade teacher read it to me andI'd love to read it again! It's a wonderful book for anybody!

Steve may fail summer school, people think his parents should be arrested, his teacher may be fired, and the whole grade is mad at him.

And all he did was complete his project for summer school!

Steve needed money to go to the INVENTION CONVENTION (Boy, did he WANT to go!) He loved to make inventions. He was assigned a project in summer school. It was to write a book. First he was going to write a biography about his favorite inventor. Then his friend HICCUP, the hypochondriac, said "Why not write a book you can SELL to get money for the INVENTION CONVENTION?" So, they thought of a title that the students would want to buy. When they start to write and sell the book, all the funny things start to happen.

This book has a lot fun situations and many funny characters. You get to know the different characters and you will like them. There are some jokes, too! And, of course, you will like the list at the end of the book called "101 WAYS TO BUG YOUR PARENTS."

So, what happened to Steve? Did he actually get to the INVENTION CONVENTION? You will have to read this very funny book to find out.

*****Mommy's note: With the very clever characterizations, and the one-line humor, even parents who like to "preview" their children's literature for appropriateness will enjoy this one! In the guise of a madcap situation, and a child-centered story, the main characters learn about responsibility, compassion, and friendship.

The kids liked this book, so I read it myself. And boy, was it was fun!

Although the title gives the impression that this is the kind of book a parent ought to pass up, it is really very well done.

Of course, it includes the list of 101 ways to bug your parents - which was the theme of Sneeze's own story in the book. But can you blame him? After all, his summer vacation WAS ruined!

But while Sneeze misses out on his summer plans, he gains a great deal in wisdom. A lot of important things are touched on in this book - what it might feel like to lose one's parent, a growing awareness of financial problems that adults often face, what's truly important in a friend, and even a hint of budding romance.

It's all in there! And it puts everything into perspective for Sneeze. I think most kids could learn something from this story.

I am impressed by this book and will look for other titles by thia author for my kids to read.

Well done!

Steve Wyatt (formally known as Sneeze) is a fifth grade boy who loves to make inventions! He, his best friend Hiccup and family are going on a summer vacation or so he thinks. It starts when his say they can't go on a vacation due to a money shortage. Worst of all his parents sign him up for summer school! And his dreams to go to the invention contention are ruined, and his big plans for the Nice Alarm are over! After that he starts to make a list on how to bug your parents. On the first day of summer school he stop by the hard ware store to ask reign (his friend) a bout his problem and Regan tells Sneeze that he can take him on one condition if he pays him the money for the expenses. Sneeze makes the deal but is lost on how to make the money. He wrote down some more way to bug his parents. In class Goldie the nosiest girl at school sees his list, Sneeze tells her that he has 101 more at home, that's when he gets the idea of how to make money to go to the invention convention. This book is dramatic funny and realistic!

A Very Good Book! I loved the story behind it! The list was super funny! LOL! I am eleven years old and I would recommend it to any one around my age!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great book. My third grade teacher read it to me andI'd love to read it again! It's a wonderful book for anybody!

101 Ways to Bug Your Parents is about a boy called Sneeze. On the last of school Sneeze brought an invention that he wants to take to the Invention Convention. Sneeze`s invention doesn`t work. Everyone laughs about his inventions. One of them reminds him about the glow-in -dark toilet seat that made your butt glow for a month. Does Sneeze make it to the Invention Convention? Read the book to find out!!!

I like this book because all of the characters have a special meaning and it`s funny. Also you learn new words every day. I recommend this book to 4th and up.

This great book, 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents, is about a boy in 6th grade who made an invention and brought it to school. The invention was the nice alarm. He tried it out and it hit Hiccup in the nose. Sneeze got a letter from a man and this guy is interested in his nice alarm. Sneeze couldn`t go to the Invention Convention. Sneeze writes a book, 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents. He got in trouble about the book. Sneeze might go to the Invention Convention. Read the book and find out.

I like this book because the book showed anger and because he couldn't go to the Invention Convention.

I recommend this book for third grade and up because it's funny.

101 Ways to Bug Your Parents is about a boy named Sneeze and he invented a nice alarm. He took it to school and Sneeze used Hiccup in the demonstration but it went haywire. Goldie told Sneeze he was not going to the Invention Convention instead he was going to summer school. Sneeze had to find a way to get to the convention.

I like this book because Sneeze invented the glow-in-the-dark toilet seat and worked at Gadabout Golf. There is a boy named Ace but no one knows his first name or last name. I think it makes him cool.

I think 10-12 year-olds should read this book. They won't know what will happen to Steve and Hiccup. You should read it.
