This review is from: Zack Files 02: Through the Medicine Cabinet (Paperback)

The book was purchased for my 7 year old son. He absolutely loves the book. He has read several others by this author. He laughs through them all. The author is awesome at bringing to life the funny things that happen to Zach to a child's level. You can visualize the events as well as feel them with your 5 senses in one way or another. Even my 10 year old daughter loves them. They hate it when I stop half way through the book so they can go to bed. It drives them crazy. This book is a must read for all ages.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Zack Files 02: Through the Medicine Cabinet (Paperback)

Do not read Zack Files Through the Medicine Cabinet by Dan Greenburg, because the main character, Zack, is a bad influence to children because he is irresposible. Zack doesn't take care of his teeth and his teeth are crooked. Zack did not lose 1 or 2 retainers, he lost 8 retainers and looked for it through the whole book. I was so foucused on the main character that I wanted to learn about him. When I learned that he was irresponsible I didn't want to read the book any more. Please do not read the book because your kids may learn to be irresponsible too.
