One star not because book was all that bad but because Im mad at it for wasting my time. Heretronormalitive as hell and the plot was formulaic and stupid. Tomboy girl wants to spend time with her guy friends, but an annoying girly girl in the way, then they go on adventures and learn girly girl isnt that bad and embrace their own femininity...also the hillbillies are bad and scary and the military saves the day. What? Anyway I probably should have returned it once I saw it was a James Paterson sponsored thing. ( )

I receive Scouts as an ACR at book con.

The main character, Annie is so much like me when I was a kid. I didn’t like making friends with girls at my school because their mean. Finally, someone has said it.

I don’t know about satellite exposing like bomb. The idea of aliens was brought up. With kids that type of stuff will easily come up. It was taken to far when Annie claims she saw an alien.

Points:

Characters: 5/5

Writing: 4/5

Plot: 4/5

1 – A character I can relate to.

Total: 14/20 = 4 *stars* ( )

I picked up this book for my nephews. They are boy scouts and cub scouts. I figured they would have a fun time reading this book. While, I did like this book; I know that my nephews will enjoy it a lot more. This is fine as this book is written and geared towards the younger reading audience. So this book is appropriately written for the right audience.

I did not have a favorite out of the group. Although, I did like them all. What I appreciated was the fact that the group included a few girls. Girls are scouts as well. Yet, I am not familiar with any scouting events or trips that my nephews have gone on or where I did join them; where we encountered mysterious gas clouds and other such strange events like the group did in this book. Overall, I would suggest checking out this book if you have a young reader looking for their next read. ( )
