Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush?

Summary: Review
Review: Another excellent book by Jerry Spinelli, this book is funny, heartbreaking, and surprising. The main idea is about a sibling rivalry between Megin and her older brother, Greg. that's the humor, but there are also side stories about Greg ands love for some girl named Jennifer Wade, until she moves to Conestoga. Then Sara Bellamy, who he considers is "not his type" starts to enter the story. Megin has no side story, other then cleaning her roach- infested room and befriending a Halley's Comet-worshipping girl named Zoe.
The author's style hasn't changed (which I hope it never will). It is kid- friendly and humorous, and you will hope it will never end (it does end in a strange sort of way- it should have been longer). I would recommend it to a middle- or junior high- schooler who reads for fun.

Summary: The funniest book I have ever read!
Review: Frankly, folks, Spinelli can do lots better than this! He's proven it with books like Crash, Loser, and (most of) Stargirl. So what in the world happened to him here??? Both of the main characters here are incredibly immature. I think junior high and high schoolers should be insulted by a story that portrays them as so shallow! The constant name-calling, whining, lying, and so forth really got on my nerves. True, toward the end one tragedy and another near-tragedy bring Greg and Megin closer together. But by then you may not like them enough to care. And a couple of Spinelli's much more likeable minor characters, such as Megin's "adopted grandmother" Emilie Bain, are hardly developed. What GOT INTO Spinelli here? This book is tremendously skippable. Read Crash instead. "Sibling rivalry" gets a fairer portrayal there, even though it's not the book's main theme.

Summary: Great book! Shows the realistic side to family life!
Review: I absolutely love this book! I first read it when I was 9 and I am still reading over and over at 14. I can compare myself to Megan and Greg in so many ways. Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush? teaches numerous life lessons about making friends, learning to love siblings, etc., etc., etc. This book brought out so many emotions in me, from laughter to sadness and is at the top of my list, for all ages!

Summary: I absolutely LOVE this book!
Review: I first read this book in middle school (12 years ago!) and ever since, I've always loved Jerry Spinelli novels. I can't imagine anyone not finding this book laugh-out-loud funny. It is a story about two siblings, Meagan and Greg, that continually argue and bicker. The story is told from each siblings point-of-view, which lends an interesting angle to the story. Throw in a younger brother (with a smaller role), and you've got the makings for a hilarious book. As a teacher, I've recommended this book to my upper elementary children with much success.

Summary: Fell in love with this book
Review: This book will always have a soft spot in my heart. When I was 14, my boyfriend read parts of it to me first period every tuesday morning while we cuddled. To make sure that I was paying attention to the story, he used to quiz me on things like the nickname Megan's brother called her. When I didn't ace the quiz, I was subjected to a punishment of tickles and a ban on kisses (that usually lasted all of 2 minuites). As I began to listen to every little detail of this book I slowly feel in love with it, and with the sweet boy who read it to me. Since then I've read it again and again, and I can't imagine not loving the book just like I can't imagine not loving my Shmally. I encourage you all to by this book and I hope it will bring you half the hapiness that it brought me.

Summary: One of the greatest books for teens ever written!
Review: When I read this book, I found out that I couldn't put it down for several days! I know that you will love this book! It is about Megan and Greg (siblings) that have troubles with each other and their family. The chapters are written by Megan and Greg (they switch off every chapter). I didn't want this book to end!!!! I wanted it to keep going forever! Overall, you should read this book!

Summary: A must read for teenagers
Review: You always go through a book and in the end you think, "what would it of been like if the book was writen from a different character's point of view?" Well this book does both. You will read a chapter or 2 from the brother's point of view and then read from the sister's point of view for another chapter or 2! A great story with love, friendship, and the relationship between a brother and sister. I could relate to this book easly, except there isn't ice in Arizona. Surprise after surprise, you can't put this book down with out wondering what will happen next. All teenagers in Middle School or Jr. High must read this book.
