[Ravenne Cooper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great book that was fun to read. I love the entire series and love the act that it is a guide to help during the worst moments.
"Worst Case Scenario" is a guide to helping with school, home, and personal issues. It can help with maintaining braces, dealing with bullies and dealing with annoying siblings. It has a few fun pages in the back where you can coax your sibling into being your servant for the rest of their life. They even have guides to dealing with school bathrooms which is a problem for almost everyone.
I'd recommend this to any kid because this book is absolutely perfect.

This book helps kids get through chores and other common things kids have to do in life it helps kids have fun while doing work and teaches kids how to have substance in their work and how to do it quick and with style. As a 10 year old child i really liked how this book has chapters and sub chapters a big topic with small topics. In my opinion this book would be described as funny helpful and entertaining!

This is a really cute book that teaches children the best way to handle such problems as dealing with bullies, bad report cards, broken zippers, & other embarrassing problems.
In a society where younger children are developing eating disorders, it may have been best to leave out the part that offered suggestions in which to hide food, however.

There are a lot of gross and funny things inside. It explains do's and do not's in school. It tells you how to survive school without getting sick or anything. I'm not going to lie, I've used these tips and tricks in lots of ways... Great book!

[Janet · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this book was thoroughly amusing. While I cannot finding myself in some of the situations described, it's good to know there seems to be a way out of every pickle. ; )

This is a great book to introduce and teach kids about informational texts. It is humorous as well, and creates interest in reading.
