    <body><![CDATA[This is a book that definitely builds up momentum as it goes along and the word &quot;crescendo&quot; rang in my head when I read the final scenes.  Another fairly young coming-of-age story featuring a preteen boy who is a lot more independent and mature than most of the 2008 11-year-olds I know.

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>In sixth grade now, the wildly imaginative Rex Zero and his friends hatch a plan to replace Miss Garr, the substitute teacher from hell, and Rex takes on the persona of none other than “Dr. Love.” Of course, events spin hilariously out of control. Miss Garr’s cruel behavior is a mystery to Rex. But then, Rex’s world is full of mysteries! There’s the beautiful woman in white. Why does she have a black eye? There’s the little black book filled with names. Who could it belong to? And why has Rex’s father hidden a letter that begins: “Mein Liebchen”? Could all these things have something to do with the mystery of love? Underneath all of this is the age-old question of how to stand up and be a man. For if, as Rex’s dad says, “a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do,” how does Rex know what to do and when to do it? </p><p>Delightfully eccentric characters, humorous scenes of well-intended plans gone awry, a finely crafted plot interwoven with serious themes about love and war—this new Rex Zero is a gem! </p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

Rex's world is so different than today's and my sense was Wynne-Jones was working some of today into 40 years ago.  It didn't jell.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book reads like it's intended for kids who are just starting to read chapter books on their own.  The story line is fairly simple and there's not a ton of character development.  I think it's probably best for the 4th and 5th grade crowd.  <br/>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>In sixth grade now, the wildly imaginative Rex Zero and his friends hatch a plan to replace Miss Garr, the substitute teacher from hell, and Rex takes on the persona of none other than “Dr. Love.” Of course, events spin hilariously out of control. Miss Garr’s cruel behavior is a mystery to Rex. But then, Rex’s world is full of mysteries! There’s the beautiful woman in white. Why does she have a black eye? There’s the little black book filled with names. Who could it belong to? And why has Rex’s father hidden a letter that begins: “Mein Liebchen”? Could all these things have something to do with the mystery of love? Underneath all of this is the age-old question of how to stand up and be a man. For if, as Rex’s dad says, “a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do,” how does Rex know what to do and when to do it? </p><p>Delightfully eccentric characters, humorous scenes of well-intended plans gone awry, a finely crafted plot interwoven with serious themes about love and war—this new Rex Zero is a gem! </p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Great story and very well written, however some subject matter was a little too old and in some cases not appropriate for my 6 and 7 year olds ears.  (A great book for older children though.)]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>In sixth grade now, the wildly imaginative Rex Zero and his friends hatch a plan to replace Miss Garr, the substitute teacher from hell, and Rex takes on the persona of none other than “Dr. Love.” Of course, events spin hilariously out of control. Miss Garr’s cruel behavior is a mystery to Rex. But then, Rex’s world is full of mysteries! There’s the beautiful woman in white. Why does she have a black eye? There’s the little black book filled with names. Who could it belong to? And why has Rex’s father hidden a letter that begins: “Mein Liebchen”? Could all these things have something to do with the mystery of love? Underneath all of this is the age-old question of how to stand up and be a man. For if, as Rex’s dad says, “a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do,” how does Rex know what to do and when to do it? </p><p>Delightfully eccentric characters, humorous scenes of well-intended plans gone awry, a finely crafted plot interwoven with serious themes about love and war—this new Rex Zero is a gem! </p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
