This is the first book I've picked up in this series which I'm reading with my second grader. It was a quick and easy read. Freddy is a normal kid and trying new things.

The narrator in the audio version of this book is an excellent reader who speaks clearly and uses inflection and tone to convey energy and enthusiasm. He can change his voice to sound different for various characters adults, children, male, female. A characteristic of easy reader books is that the sentence structure is longer than that for beginner readers. The reader may feel sorry for Freddy when Max bullies him and cheers him on to be chosen the person to be given the position on the hockey team.
Wanting to know the outcome of the story and hockey try-out keeps the audience interested in finishing the book. The person narrating the audio version is very versatile with his voice.
He does an excellent job of speaking as mother, father, sister, Freddy, female friend, male friend, teacher, and bully. He, along with the story line, help keep the listener intrigued and wanting to hear more of the story. Links to published reviews from professional sources: Sep 23, J Patrick rated it did not like it. I wish I could offer something positive, but as a parent, I can't recommend any of the books in this series.
They were given to us by a friend and I'm getting rid of them as quickly as I can sneak them away from my child, who loves them unfortunately. They are poorly written and formulaic. The characters are stereotypes and never develop in any way. There is the Bully, the Princess, the Tomboy, the Brain and our 'Hero' the mediocre kid Freddy who admires some of his friends but never thinks of I wish I could offer something positive, but as a parent, I can't recommend any of the books in this series. There is the Bully, the Princess, the Tomboy, the Brain and our 'Hero' the mediocre kid Freddy who admires some of his friends but never thinks of emulating them.
There is a LOT of name-calling; the kids only seem to know how to argue and interrupt. The school scenes nearly always describe kids being disruptive and rude to each other; the teacher is forever breaking up arguments and punishing the "bad" kids always the same ones. Family scenes always show siblings bickering, sometimes for several pages so tedious ; normal, constructive conversations almost never take place. There is not an honest, realistic moment in any of these books.
My child picked up some unfortunate language and rudeness from reading them. The only positive thing I can say is that kids seem to like them; if you have a reluctant reader, you might get somewhere with a couple of these books you've read one, you've read them all--they are all the same , but there are plenty more engaging, positive books for kids out there.

Mar 31, Kelly Powell added it Shelves: This was a great book to read about bullying and would be great to begin a discussion in my future classroom.
This book could be used to give a student a perspective on how to react or treat bullies and that in the end the person bullying just wants to fit in. I was glad that Freddy and Max were able to be on the team together.
