Hott Synopsis

Life is pretty awesome for David,

BN – Amazon – GR – Author

until he is sent to visit his grandmother for summer vacation. This wouldn’t be so bad for most kids but this summer David turns thirteen and he hasn’t seen his grandmother for at least twelve years! So, David leaves his friends and any hope he had of making the basketball team or winning this year’s summer bet and kissing a girl.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, strange things go on at his Grandmother’s bed and breakfast. It’s decorated like 1967 meets 2167. The clients are odd, some even walk on all fours. And the local police force, drives by way too frequently for it to be a coincidence. Why on earth would his perfectly normal father send him to this, this place?

Hott Review

I really enjoyed this book! The boys? Not so much but to be fair they are not really into sci-fi. They’ll watch Star Wars but think I’m insane for loving Star Trek and Stargate. I’m not a sci-fi fanatic but it is a nice change of pace occasionally.

I think it’s a terrific book for 11-13 year olds. I wouldn’t give to those younger because some of the vocabulary is a bit much for the younger crowds (unless they’re into this and words like intergalactic, incremental and aluminum are part of their everyday vocab). There is also the matter of a bet David made with a friend from home – whomever is the first to kiss a girl wins.
