The Tapper Twins Go Viral

The Tapper Twins #4

by Geoff Rodkey

Told as a series of interviews, photos, texts, social media hits, and videogame screenshots, The Tapper Twins Go Viral is a laugh-a-page book with a serious lesson: never feed the internet trolls!
Claudia Tapper just doesn't get it: How is it possible that the video of the best breakup song she's ever written is watched by virtually nobody, when her brother Reese's completely moronic 2-second clip of an video game wipeout ends up being the hottest thing online at Culvert Prep? Unfortunately, Claudia's bold declaration of injustice sets the stage for the bet of her life: Which of the Tapper twins can get more online followers in a week? She had better top Reese's rapidly escalating popularity or she can kiss her social life goodbye if she loses the bet and is forced to post the most embarrassing video imaginable!

¿De qué trata este libro? Claudia y Reese Tapper son gemelos y son las personas más diferentes en el mundo, donde Claudia es inteligente, madura, responsable y mandona el pequeño Reese es despistado, y se la pasa jugando videojuegos y al fútbol con sus amigos. Evidentemente al ser tan diferentes nuestros jóvenes protagonistas se la pasan chocando en sus personalidades y teniendo conflictos la mar de divertidos. Cabe aclarar varias cosas, la primera es que estos libros son súper ligeritos y divertidos, llenos de imágenes, diálogos, fotografías, etc. Y narrados en forma de crónica pues cada volumen, siendo este el último, compila diversos acontecimientos importantes en la vida de los Gemelos Tapper. En el primer volumen tenemos una guerra cruel y violenta que se desato cuando alguien se comió el panecillo que no debía, en el segundo volumen tenemos una búsqueda del tesoro que involucra a todo Nueva York, en el tercer volumen tuvimos una pelea política despiadada y cruel por el puesto para el consejo escolar y en este curto volumen tendremos una aventura épica que involucra el internet, las redes sociales y una historia tan extraña como desternillante.

No les voy a mentir, si siento un poco feo de saber que esta serie de libros termina, y el autor ya dijo que no hay planes de un quinto libro, pues aunque son libros realmente muy ligeros me ayudan a entretenerme un montón y son libros, que yo denomino, puente. ¿A qué me refiero cuando habló de “libros puente”? Hablo de títulos ligeros, de tramas entretenidas, que enganchan y divertidos para pasar de lecturas más pesadas a lecturas aún más pesadas o más ligeras, la serie de los Gemelos Tapper es ideal pues cumple con todos los requisitos y sirve muy bien para mis propósitos. Además considero que son libros geniales por si buscan ago que regalar a los lectores jóvenes, si quieren que sus hijos ya más grandes (por ahí de 10 años en adelante) comiencen a engancharse a la lectura pueden regalarles esta serie, créanme que quedarán fascinados y, seguramente, comenzarán a pedirles más y más libros ;)

Another great addition to the series. Full of humor and life lessons.

The book "The Tapper Twins Go viral was a good book. This is the sequel to the books "The Tapper Twins Go To War (With Each other)" Which was a good read, using an interview like style that gives multiple sides to the story, while still being in first person, And all of the books after that are still in this style which still is interesting 4 books in. Another good part is that it shows a realistic problem that could happen to anyone on the internet. One thing that was not enjoyable is that Reese, one of the main characters, along with his friends make up words like scronked which could get annoying to some people. Another annoying part is how Zander talks because he sounds like he is trying to be cool and a like a rapper. The story is good and that clears up some of the problems

If you like Diary of A Wimpy Kid or Dork diaries this is a story for you. Haha... and I love that the character tell us to beware of the internet and not to give anyone your password and also your details or anything and also don't click any links that you are not sure of because it is dangerous and hackers and also viruses will get to your computer.

And as usual internet there is always the app that is popular where people post short reels. Which the twins planning to make themselves viral and a queen bee of her school dared her to get more followers than her twin though she does not really want to do it however the queen bee is not going to let her go so she reluctantly agreed. And the bet begins. Can't spoil the process you will have to read to find out.

С вече три книги зад гърба си, близнаците Тапър на Джеф Родки нееднократно са взривявали книжарниците. Е, с четвъртата си книга вече е ред да взривят и Интернет! Феновете на близнаците определено не могат да се оплачат. Поредната (и за сега последна) част на хитовата младежка поредица връхлита на в превод на български език по-малко от месец след световната си премиера. Не може да им се отрече – от „Егмонт” действат скорострелно! Прочетете ревюто на "Книжни Криле":

The Tapper Twins Go Viral by Geoff Rodkey was a funny book to read. It was also very entertaining. What I liked about this book was when Athena Made a bet with Claudia, but when she lost the bet she had to pay Claudia 1,000 dollars! To be honest though I think it wasn't really worth paying Claudia 1,000 dollars just for getting more followers than Reese. But the one thing I didn't like about this book was how short it was, because I believe that this book could have been longer. But since i'm not the author I can't change how long the book is. So, this is my book review of The Tapper Twins Go Viral by Geoff Rodkey.

[Valerie McEnroe]

Popular series about a twin brother and sister who face modern dilemmas. Kids will love the illustrations and nontraditional way of telling a story. The story is told through short comments made by the characters. This book describes the online disaster that can happen if you try to get famous on a website like YouTube. It's a clever way to teach kids about the ills of the internet.

I love the Tapper Twins first three books and i was ratting them on good reads and saw this one and freaked out i really wanted to read it. I thought it was a great book but i think you should read the first three first.

[Tina]

This is the fourth in the series and I have read them all with my kids. We loved this one just as much as the others. We laugh out loud, we discuss, and we hate to stop reading when it is time to go to bed. My fifth grade son, my sophomore daughter and I all strongly agree on the five star rating.

[Carla Winther]

jeg læste den færdig, samme dag som jeg fik den, og ELSKEDE den! Det er nok en bog som ikke passer helt til min aldersgruppe, men jeg elskede den og kunne godt finde på at læse serien igen. 100% % ud af % stjerner, lige så god som de andre. Kan ikke vente hvis der kommer en ny!

[Madeleine]

I read the Tapper Twins books like every month! They are super funny and I love all the different elements such as interviews, text screenshots, video screenshots and pictures. I really do not have ANY complaint about any of the books.

[Sarah Threlkeld]

Another entertaining book in the TT series. Rodkey manages to weave in tips about Internet safety/usage and still sound true to the characters.

[Victor Anguiano]

This book was good it was straight to the point no lead up that's really boring but a straight to the point.but I love it when they start fighting online. I recommend this book to everyone.

[The Brothers]

Asher (11yo) read. "Very funny. Feel sorry for Reese for being attacked by hackers. Unhappy that it's the last in the series. :( But, great way to end it!"

[Leslie Elsasser]

Super funny, as usual!

Me ha parecido el peor de los cuatro :( pero bueno, sigue siendo maravilloso

[Phoebe]

Good read

I choose 5 because it is very good for children and it gives good vocabulary references. I recommend to all with children ages 10-13

[Julia]

My son has read all of these books to me, and I think this was my favourite to date.

Gr8 do u like it y’all it’s underrated GO READING!!!!

[Ella Storey]

This book was very easy to read and I like the style it was written in. I'm not very keen on the font, but the book itself was very good. The contents:

Claudia Tapper is a hopeful future (and hopefully famous) singer/song writer. Reese Tappe is basically and Internet disaster victim. Reese is under attack from a group angry hackers and now the police was there.

And there is not much more to say.

4.5 stars
