4.0 out of 5 stars Funny Adventure
I'm Ceci. I gave this book four stars because it was very funny,mysterious, and it made me keep on reading. I didn't give this book five stars because the ending doesn't really answer some questions in the book. Some parts of it made me laugh until milk came out of my nose. Kids: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!...Altho you SHOULD probably buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Can a boy really turn into a girl if he accidentally kisses his elbow? Does wanting to learn to play jacks and wear sparkly clothes make him a girl? Nine-year-old Marvin has a lot of worries. In a disappointing ending that reinforces sex-role stereotypes,he manages to kiss his elbow again and returns to his macho self, although he does befriend a girl in his class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Marvin Redpost #3 is Fun!, August 11, 2003
A Kid's Review
I have read all of the Marvin Redpost books, but I liked Is He a Girl? best because it was very fun and suspenseful. It is a fun story because Marvin thinks he is a girl but he doesn't tell his friends. He believes that he is starting to like girl things but I think that there is no difference in girl and boy activities. I think Marvin sees this too. I think this is a fun book for eight or nine year olds to read and younger kids to listen to.

I teach second grade and used this book as a read-aloud for my class. The students loved this funny book and I will definitely be reading it again next year.

When I was reading it I felt like I was watching a great film.My favorite charector is General Jackson.It realy made me think about how other kids feel when they get teased.It is a short chapter book but when your reading it, it makes it seem a long time Louise sachar does not leave any details out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Marvin Repost Is He a Girl, May 22, 2003
A Kid's Review
I liked Marvin Redpost because it was funny . The reason it is funny to me because he kept trying to kiss his elbow. He almost got caught kissing his elbow. He started to act like a girl . He was wondering why girls giggle when they come out of the bathroom. He liked the way girls did thiings with their hair. He started to bite his finger like a girl in his classroom. He said that girls are lucky because they can wear anything they want like shorts, skirts and dresses and get to get boys in trouble more than boys get girls in trouble. My favorite part was when he tried to kiss his elbow and got tangled up in his sheets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvin Redpost: Is he a Girl?, August 11, 2000
By A Customer
I've read the book twice. Great book. Casey tells Marvin that if you kiss your elbow, you will turn into a girl. At first, Marvin doesn't believe her, but when Marvin kisses his elbow, he thinks he really is turning into a girl! Very hilarious! If you like books where the character thinks that they are something else than what they really are, then you'll love this!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is very intresting, May 23, 2005
A Kid's Review
Casey sits by Marvin at school. And Casey said if you are a boy and kiss your elbow you will turn into a girl and the same with the girl. Then Marvin had a bad dream and woke up and SCREAMING and his mother, oh I mean "her" mother thought it was Marvin's little sister Linzy but it was Marvin. I am not going to tell you what happened at the end of the book. I really like this book because the ending is so good. You should read it! By Darbi

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvin Redpost is so wierd!, May 17, 2006
A Kid's Review
I think you should buy this because there's lots of wierd stuff like when Marvin asked his sister, "Do I look like a girl?" My teacher said, "If you are paying attention you'll giggle." I'm like,"No books make ME giggle." But this one did. But that's just my opinion. By Katie
