Sixth graders and up
Although I read this sequel before the original, I really enjoyed it. It can be read on many levels-- as a thrilling adventure, a lovely trot through references to other children's books, and a reflection on how to live life in the moment and embrace change. I know that sounds like a pile of hooey-- who would see such depth in a young person's novel?-- but the main character's struggles with expressing her tru character enough to find the truth (who captured the Nobodies) is a wonderful metaph...more

My daughter asked me to read the first book in this series to her, as she had read it at school and thought I would like it. We read that one, and now we're in the midst of the NOBODIES...

sequel to "the Anybodies," "the Nobodies" is incredibly imaginative and well-written. well-written for adults entertainment that is, there is nothing mushy about them, Fern is a very mature character and a pleasure to follow. Although you can read them separately, i would recommend starting with "the Anybodies."

The Nobodies is the sequel to another charming book, The Anybodies. Both of these books are great for anyone who has ever wished that they had magical powers. Easy read, but very fun.

While not as good as the Anybodies, this is a decent follow-up to the book. There seems to be a lack of three-dimensional characters here. Thank God the wit makes up for most of it.

Fun kids' book. The author butts in a lot, but his comments are usually funny, so I don't mind. A sequel to "The Anybodies."
