Rating:
Summary: Y1K?
Review: "How I Fixed the Year 1000 Problem," by Dan Greenburg, is one in the "Zack Files" series of short novels for young readers. The book is illustrated by Jack E. Davis. In this story, contemporary schoolboy Zack is doing research for a school assignment. He is accidentally transported back in time to the year 999, where he discovers a conroversy surrounding the impending dawn of the year 1000. Zack's adventures involve both the students of the Dragon Slayers' Academy and an actual dragon.

This book is good silly fun, with some clever jokes and pop culture references. If you are looking for something that is actually eduactional about the year 999, look elswhere; the accent here is on comedy and fantasy. Davis' illustrations have a goofy charm and effectively compliment the text. Overall, a pretty good book.

Summary: This book is da bomb!
Review: Hey y'all, I think this book is neat! I also want to collect all the Zack Files Books that come out. In this book, Zack gets stuck through the computer and gets transported to DSA--Dragon Slayers Academy. There, he meets Wiglaf, Angus, and Erica in the year 999, and faces dragons. There's another book from the DSA perspective. If you like both Zack Files and DSA, this book is for you--a fan!
