Kelsey Ford: Powell's Picks Spotlight: Elif Batuman's 'Either/Or' (0 comment)
One of my very favorite memories from my first semester at college was the afternoon my freshman poetry workshop met up with another poetry workshop to “celebrate” the work we’d done by reading our (very bad) poems out loud for each other...

Publisher Comments

Noah Grow is a bird-watcher. If you're picturing some kid in a big floppy hat, peering up into trees through giant binoculars . . . well, good job. That's exactly what he does. Right now, Noah is on a quest to find a wood duck. According to his calculations, aka the Drake Equation, the odds are good-really good-for spotting one.

That's why he gets off the bus at the wrong stop. And that's how he ends up running down a hill, crashing into a fence, and landing right next to a strange, glittery disk.

Noah and his best friends, Jason and Jenny, soon discover that the mysterious disk is, well, mysterious. It gives Noah peculiar powers. As things go from odd to outrageous, Noah is swept up in a storm of intergalactic intrigue and middle-school mayhem. There's much more at stake than Noah realizes.

Bart King delivers a hilarious sci-fi adventure with just the right mix of heart and humor that will have readers looking out for birds-and strange alien objects.

Review

"Much of the humor stems from Noah's struggles to overcome his cowardice... Mock 'field notes' [offer] information from Noah's perspective in a clever, albeit gratuitous way. A ... sci-fi narrative with an enjoyable main character." Kirkus

My twelve year old son really liked this book. Here's what he said:"I really like the detail they go into regarding all the main characters; Details on emotions, expressions, feelings, and actions. They even give a list of things that describe a character when a new character is introduced! Good story, too. The writing wasn’t difficult to read, but it also wasn’t too easy to read. It was a nice inbetween for me there. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it."
