The Best One of all the Zack Files books by Dan Greenburg,
By
This review is from: Zack Files 20: How I Went from Bad to Verse (Paperback)
I'm just so-so on the Zack Files series -- they are funny in an underpants-humor sort of way, but they tend to be silly instead of really interesting. The kids enjoy the books, but they aren't really memorable. Third grade is about right for these books."How I Went from Bad to Verse" is the best one in the series -- it is genuinely funny, with great rhymes (about Zack's bottom) and even some limericks. Zack gets bitten by a tick and gets "Rhyme disease." This is a happy one to read together -- get the giggles. Divorced parents, dad is the "cool" one, some disrespect toward authority figures. 20 synonyms for "butt".
