داستان در مورد یه پسر با اسم مستعار اسنیز و اسم واقعی استفنه که خیلی خلاق و باهوشه و به اختراع کردن علاقه‌منده.
داستان جالبی داشت که در عین سادگی خلاقانه بود و نکات خوبی در مورد بچه‌ها، پدر و مادرها، رفتار درست، امیدواری و مفاهیم مثبت دیگه توی خودش داشت.
کتابی قابل توصیه به همه‌ی بچه‌ها یا کودک درون آدم‌بزرگ‌ها!

یادگاری از کتاب:
کلید‌ نوشتن یک کتاب خوب، انتخاب زاویه تازه‌ای برای نگاه کردن به موضوع است. زاویه‌ای که قبلا کار نشده باشد. به عبارت دیگر چاله‌ای پیدا کنید و پرش کنید. نیازی را پیدا کنید و ارضایش کنید.

من این کتاب رو صوتی گوش دادم و بامزه بود... داستانش در مورد یک دانش آموز نوجوانی هست که دوست داره چیزایی رو اختراع کنه و یک کتابی بنویسه... کتاب نوشتن البته فعلا به میل خودش نیست...اون قرار هستش که به یه مدرسه تابستونی بره و تکلیفش توی اون مدرسه طراحی و یا نگارش یک کتاب هست... اون از روابطش با خانواده‌اش، دوستانش در مدرسه و اتفاقایی که پیرامونش می‌افته تعریف می‌کنه البته به شکل بامزه و جالبی...تمام مدتی که کتاب رو گوش میدادم اون رو با بچه‌هایی که همسن و سالش هستند و باهاشون در ارتباطم مقایسه میکردم... گاهی برام جالب و خنده‌دار بود و گاهی حرصم میداد....

خیلی خیلی بانمک بود و کتاب صوتیش رو شنیدن خالی از لطف نیست . جالبه بدونید که گویا یه سریال ایرانی هم با همین اسم ازش اقتباس کرده.
ماجرای پسری رو روایت میکنه به اسم اسنیز که عاشق اختراع کردنه و پدر مادری داره که همیشه سرشون با کار گرمه ... ادم خیلی محبوبی نیست و فقط یک دوست داره اونم هیکاپه که همیشه سکسکه میکنه و دچار بیماری خود بیمار پنداریه (hypochondriac) ... قراره بالاخره این تابستون اسنیز و والدینش با هیکاپ برن تعطیلات چون پنج سالی هست که توی قرنطینه بودند به نحوی و توی تعطیلات قرار بود که به انجمنی از مخترعان سر بزنند تا اسنیز بتونه خط تولید خودش رو داشته باشه . سفر کنسل میشه اما اسنیز نمیخواد اینو بپذیره پس تصمیم میگیره خودش کار کنه و پول دربیاره تا بتونه از پس رفتن به انجمن بر بیاد و همزمان پدر و مادرش رو از دست خودش دیوونه کنه .

A story about a 6th grader who likes to invent things, this 4th grade reading level (at least 4th grade) was a delight to my 6 yr old who read it on his own. He loved the fun names, it was easy to read for him and engaging at the same time. He doesn't like all books and sometimes balks at length, so he almost didn't pick this one up. But I encouraged him to read just a few chapters and he was hooked. This isn't so with all books, so we'll definitely be looking up this author again!

میدونین این کتاب برای وقتی خوبه که میخوای یه استراحت بکنی و برگردی به دوران بچگیت، میتونی با شیطونی های شخصیت ها همراه شی و خوش بگذرونی، یا با تصمیم های عجول و احمقانه شون بیفتی توی هچل. خلاصه که برای من دلنشین بود و حس خوبی داشت.
البته من از نسخه ی صوتی استفاده کردم و کاملا مطمئنم لحن و اجرای گوینده تاثیر بسزایی در سرگرم کننده تر شدن کتاب داشته.

This book is funny, and some tips really works to annoy your parents! Totally recommend it to 11-14year old.

به وضوح یادمه به تک تک دوستام التماس کردم بیاید بهش راه‌های دیگه‌ای اضافه کنیم و هیچکدوم قبول نکردن.

A quick fun read. Sneeze is an inventor (or at least passionately tries) and can't wait for his summer vacation to the Invention Convention with his family. Of course things don't go as planned, but he learns whats most important, like what real friends are.

[Erika · Rating 4 out of 5]

so so rich in only 200 pages. It was truly impressive how well this was written.

[B32393 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sneeze, is a boy who is very young boy who is "revolved" around himself. The book itself though is good because when I was younger, I would have considered myself a "rebel". This book honestly made me into more of a "bad" kid, because I would disobey my parents A LOT. The book itself, like the idea of it came from this one assignment Sneeze has to do, during his summer school.
If you would want to know what the book is mainly about, just read the back of the book to get a glimpse of it. Honestly in my opinion, this book is meant for 5th graders or 6th graders. I do enjoy the book because it gives me options on how to be a "bad" kid(I won't actually become one because I do not want to die lol).

[James Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought that this was a very good book. It had alot of humor in it so it kept me entertained throughout the whole book. The story wasn't complicated at all either so I understood everything perfectly. This book is about a boy who needs to go to summer school. And in summer school they are making a book, so he decides to make a book about how to bug your parents. The book was a big hit and he made alot of money, but there were alot of bumps along the way. Pretty much anyone will enjoy this book.

داستان یه پسر خلاق و نوآور که با اطرافیانش تفاوت معنادار داره! و رفیق شفیقی که تنهاش نمی ذاره، و برای رسیدن به هدفش هیچ گزینه ای رو امتحان نکرده بیخیال نمیشه!
مدت ها بود سر یه کتاب انقده نخندیده بودم. کتاب خوب و روونی بود و نویسنده به خوبی از پس روایت داستان از زبان یه بچه دبستانی با اون حال و هوا و اون فضای ذهنی و دغدغه ها براومده...

با اینکه خوندنش برمیگرده به گدشته های دور! (حداکثر اول راهنمایی بودم خوندمش) اما همون موقع هم خیلی جدبم نکرد؛ هم راهکار هاش تو ایران جواب نمیداد (:D) هم داستان خیلی کسل کننده بود... زیادی رئال، زیادی معمولی! ادرنالین کافی رو نداشت :D حتی اگر زیر 10 سالین پول ندین بابتش؛ از کتابخونه بگیرید اول!

هنوز هم به دستورالعمل هایش اطمینان دارم!عملی هستند!

I Loved It !!!

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book honestly surpassed my expectations--which were pretty low. We got it cheap somewhere and had it on our shelves, so I figured I'd try reading it to the kids for fun. It started pretty ridiculous with character names like Sneeze, Hiccup, and Scribbler (all nicknames of course) which set me up to think it was more of a "My Weird School" type of book, but it actually got better as it went along. It's more of a commentary on what books should be allowed for kids to write and read, along with some funny bits and an actual list of "101 Ways to Bug Your Parents" in the back, which of course the kids loved. It does seem a bit ridiculous that a 12-year-old secures himself a job behind his parents back and manages to sell his "book" to tens of kids, but it was still an enjoyable read overall.

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay, here's the deal. I discovered this book as a young 12 year old in the shelves of my classroom library. I then went on to read it so many times that my teacher gifted it to me at the end of the year.

This book is weird. It's fun. It's full of memorable characters and odd happenings, with little feel good moments interspersed here and there.

Will it ever be considered a children's classic? Definitely not.
Will it forever be considered one of MY childhood classics? Absolutely.

p.s. As a warning for any parents who might be reading this review, as well as an incentive for any children who are: this book does in fact include a list of 101 ways to bug your parents.

[Lindsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

8-year old really liked this. It's about a kid inventor who is trying to figure out a way to get to the Invention Convention when his parents say they don't have money to send him. I liked that the plot addressed real life issue of parents not having money to cater to kid's every whim; I didn't like some of the snarky attitude in the beginning, but he seems to round off as a character toward the end. Cute enough and kept our attention.

Read this back in elementary school, years and years ago, but tonight something jarred a memory of it — a mild fixation obsessively compulsively writing the list in the book over and over and over. I hardly remember the actual story but the l i s t. I kept it checked out for weeks and weeks and weeks. I hid it under the stool in the living room. I like lists.

[Zane · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was awesome and fun. My favorite character is Steve aka Sneeze. He sneezes at everything except fish!!!!!!

[Connor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is okay, its hard to understand for me and has some random things in it. It's a good book for younger audiences 5-6th graders.

[Sam Bright · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these books. I love the characters and their genuine heartfelt interactions. Much love for this series

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute story. Not just a list of how to bug your parents.

[Pat · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the early pages, I disliked what appeared to be a snarky, obsessive, self-centered, & selfish young hero. And I would hate for this book to land in the hands of a child who already possesses those unfortunate characteristics. But, as the book progressed, his better character traits came to the fore.

Sneeze, our hero, is an inventor of more than a few failed inventions but he never gives up. His best friend, Hiccup, is his main supporter. Nicknames abound that the intended age group should find amusing. For months, Sneeze has been looking forward to a family vacation that would include a stop at the Invention Convention and the possibility of selling his latest invention. Epic fail. Finances are tight. The vacation gets cancelled. His parents need to work. They enroll him in a summer class with his least favorite teacher in lieu of a babysitter. Could life get any worse?

The book title comes from Sneeze's choice of topic in the summer creative writing class. He researches and tests these methods out on his parents for two obvious reasons. (Pity them!) 1- To vent his anger for canceling the vacation; and, 2- To sell the finished product to raise money to go to the convention on his own.

Okay, the kid definitely has an obnoxious side but as time and the book progress, he works hard, learns a few lessons and his better side emerges. His admirable perseverance sees him through trials and tribulations both at home, school, and work, with fellow classmates, the school system, parents, and a prickly co-worker. In the end, he acts both reasonably and honorably and becomes a hero in the true sense of the word. Not a bad finish.

[Krista Stevens · Rating 3 out of 5]

Highly recommended by 9-year-old twins Jake and Brian. Funny and clever story of a sixth grade inventory (or wanna-be), who with most of his class ends up taking summer school - all for a variety of reasons, that are a big of a stretch.

Regardless, that sets the scene as students take a Creative Writing class and mysteries, suspense, and misunderstandings occur.

Hiccup is a little too extreme for me. Goldie is hilarious. Great relationship with Scribbler and Hiccup and Scribbler and Hayley. Parents are great. Adults are great. A little crazy at the end at the meeting - hard to believe that many parents would be that upset.

Golden lines:
Scribbler to his newest fish: "No trip has ever meant so much before. This was my dream come true. And now...it's over...Do you know how that feels, Ben? Did you ever dream about swimming out in the ocean? Just you in miles and miles of blue...dancing with seaweed, wiggling in the sand, surfing down waves with dolphins. And then you woke up and you were still here? Still inside four glass walls, with the same dumb old turquoise gravel and empty treasure chest?" (14).

If add to SR for Grade 5 or 6 - make it easy.
