BBAW Day #2 - Giveaway





This giveaway is for Simon Bloom: The Gravity Keeper and Simon Bloom: The Octopus Effect by Michael Reisman. This is a clever series that blends science, humor, and suspense. In The Gravity Keeper, sixth-grader Simon Bloom finds a book that allows him to manipulate the laws of the universe. Naturally (this is middle-grade fantasy, after all), he must use his newfound powers to thwart a villain's attempt at world domination. This has gotten good reviews, but I couldn't get into it. I think it's more of a hit with its intended audience (the 9-12 crowd) and not a solid crossover for adult reading.
