Rise of the Balloon Goons: A Branches Book (the Notebook of Doom #1): Volume 1: 01 Paperback – 25 Jun. 2013

We read a different Scholastic books series first and needed another good "first chapter" series with lots of pictures to keep their attention.They LOVE the characters and guessing who is the baddie and/or what could happen next.Whenever possible we use the Kindle edition and broadcast it to our TV via our Amazon Firebox (via wireless projection) so that everyone can see the text and the pictures. Unfortunately not all the books are available for Amazon Kindle, so some books we had to buy as hard paper and we are running out of space in our bookshelves as we have sooo many books, so we prefer electronic copies. Electronic copies also allow us to share it onto their Amazon Fire tablets for kids.Again, LOVED by all of our kids and we have different ages and grasp of the world. It has gone so far, that our boys have us print out the monsters, trace them and then colour them in!

I got this book and I was fixated. I could not stop reading it. This is a good book full of mystery. And you don't think it could get better but it does. Every story is so good. I would recommend this book to age 5-10yr olds because there are some tricky words but, I also recommend this to an older person that has just started reading. Once I finished this book I had to get the others and I can't WAIT for the 13th book. \(0_0)/

My granddaughters found this book rather disturbing . They were able to think about the young boy going to school alone and the problems he had at school .they are 7 and 4 . I decided to read it through quickly so they knew it has a happy ending ,we decided nto to read others in the series .the girls love the dragon masters books
