I like when spud stamped ‘I love barbies’ on Marty’s arm, and when Will started reading about Finn MacCool. I thought it was funny when the brothers were arguing about who owned the air in there bedroom

1. i thought this book is amasingly funny
2. I loved mrs murphy because she encorages reading books
3. i wou ld love to recommend this book to somone else
I thought this book was not that good because Marty and his brother were just in a library trying to get away with things.
At the end I quite enjoyed it because Will got the blue card which means you can read adult books.
The person I liked best in this book was Marty because he was very cheeky but at the end he realised what he had done wrong.
Yes I would recommend the book to someone else because in the book Ms Murphy/Spud Murphy was strict and funny because she tricked Marty into getting a rubber stamp that says, "I love Barbie."
My favourite character is Spud Murphy because she helped the boys to like books. She’s also friendly and nice if the children behave well.
could be better...
I thought this was amazing. The vocabulary was really interesting. The story was very funny. My favourite bit was when spud put a stamp on Marty’s arm.
I think that this book is fun to read. Also it was a good book to read. The thing that had intrested me was the images and the speach it had in the book.I liked Marty in the book because he is funny.
I think I can recommend this book because it is quite a good book. I found this book in my big brother's room. My favourite character was Martin who was the second main character's big brother. He is very cheeky - like me!
Fantastic! I would recomend it to all adventure readers
This book was ok but a bit bad. There was lots of non-exciting bits in it.
good
Didnt like it.
i think it was a good one because it shows how people can imagine things in their head
It was good and my favourite character is spud Murphy
It was an amazing and a very good book to read, I really enjoyed it. It was quite funny because when his brother challenged him to get a book from the adult section he got rewarded with an adults card instead of a child’s card. My favourite character was spud Murphy the librarian because she was really mean but when the kids got to know her she was really friendly. Yes I would recommend.
It was very halrious espesally when Spud Murphy stamped I LOVE BARBIE on Marty's fore arm. I would reccommed to anyone who loves funny and short books!
