I.Q (Reviewed by Colin)

I.Q.

How would you like it if your mom and dad are famous rock stars. Also you get to go on a one-year tour with them and get to miss school. That’s what happened to Q. and Angela, but it wasn’t all fun for them.

The genre of this book is realistic fiction because it takes place in a real setting and the characters could be real. Q. and Angela’s parents are getting married. The next day they’re going on a one-year tour to Philadelphia. Their parents are rock stars and the best in America! When they get there things go well. Q. and Angela get new cell phones and go out to fancy dinners. Their adviser Boone takes them to Independence Hall. Angela brings up that her mom got blown up there. Boone says many people say she’s alive but hiding. Angela, Q. and Boone investigate to see if she really died. Will they find out if she’s dead or not? Or even meet her? Read the book to find out!

I.Q. was an outstanding book. One bad thing is the beginning is so boring! For example, the beginning is a wedding. It felt like the first chapter would never end. A good thing is the ending is relevant. The ending isn’t a let down like other books do. I’m not telling you what happens but it has to do with Angela’s mom. Also the book has a lot of action. For example, there is a lot of kidnapping and threatening.

I.Q. is a definite two thumbs up because there is a lot of action. I recommend this book to fifth through seventh graders because younger kids probably wouldn’t understand it. Older kids will think it’s too easy to read. If you find the book somewhere, I recommend you read it!
