Product Description

Product Description

Mouse and his best friend Ezzie have come up with 17 action plans for various types of emergency, such as Attack by an Unfriendly Lion. But nothing has prepared them for the 18th emergency: being on the wrong side of Marv Hammerman, every eighth-grader's worst nightmare.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book of hilarious solutions to hilarious problems!, 9 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I have fairly enjoyed this book, with its hilarious, exciting solutions to unbelievable problems such as getting caught in a quicksand or with a shark in the sea!!! The best thing I have really enjoyed is that it just describes how a young boy's life would generally be at school, and the basic problem he would surely face there, being bullied by older boys. It is very annoying but in this book it is hilarious how they all fear one particular boy,Marv Hammerman,up to an unvelievable extent. Here is where all the humour lies! But Betsy Byars ended the book in a fairly enjoyable way which teaches us one very inportant moral, never give up but stand up and fight and try hard because you might do it, you never know, and Mouse certainly did. I really didn't give it a rating of five because in spite of the excellent storyline of the book, the level of excitement was not kept fairly high throughout the book. The story was sometimes rather lame but other than that, the story still kept its humour and interesting hilarity! If you have enjoyed othe books by Betsy Byars, then you better read this one too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent, A very enjoyable book, 19 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eighteenth Emergency (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
I have recently read this book to a class of 30 children aged 11 and 12. They were thouroughly enthralled in the story. The book has a lot of humour in it and the children could relate well to many of the experiences especially those relating to bullying. The book goes through a number of 'emergencies' which the children in my class shared their opinions on. All the time they were eagerly waiting to find out just what the 18th emergency would be. What was it?.... You will have to read it to see!

3.0 out of 5 stars Shannen Foxs review, 21 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I liked the book, but sometimes it got boring when he kept thinking about Hammerman.Hammerman is a bully. He threatens to kill Mouse (Benjie). I think Benjie should have been a bit tougher about it; he should have stood up for himself a bit more. If it were like this it would have been more interesting.
Ezzie is his best mate, I like him he is funny and my favourite.
There is also a dog called Garbage Dog who scruffs around the neighbourhood, he' s smelly and scruffy. Read this book and you'll find what else happens..............

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD!
This book is very good and I'd reccomend it to you. It's about two lads who have thought of a way to stop every emergency they can think of, but not how to stop Marv Hammerman... Read more
