Review: The Boys Start the War; The Girls Get Even

I especially like these books since it was the type of book that has a boys vs. girls sort of thing, also with revenge in it and I happen to really like books like that. These books are about the Hatford boys vs. the Malloy girls. It all started when the Hatford boys, Josh, Jake, Wally, and Peter, best friends, moved out and the Malloy sister moved into their house in stead of boys like the Hatford boys thought it would be. The Malloy sisters are Caroline, Beth and Edith Ann (or as she preferred it in the book, Eddie). The pranks and tricks on each other started when the Hatford boys decided that by making the girls so miserable they'd want to go back to where they came from, Ohio. However the boys didn't think that the girls would get revenge on the Hatford boys prank on them. So, begins the war. Then in the second book, since these two books are put into one, it goes on about more tricks, pranks, and ways of getting revenge on each other. Some of the tricks are when the Malloy girls take their revenge against the Hatford boys, when Caroline Malloy got to be a queen in a play the fourth grade were having, and Wally Hatford was her footman. Then a plot was formed, for Halloween night, and it was in store for the Malloy girls from the Hatford boys. I thought that all these pranks that were done, were really funny, and some you can even consider doing yourself, if you want to get revenge or even somebody! I found this book absolutely hilarious, and full of life. I would recommend this books towards everyone, but especially those who like books that are girls vs. boys, or ones with revenge, or books that are funny. To rate this book, I give it a perfect five stars.

Summary: Fresh and funny
Review: This delightful above-average children's book has a familiar theme to it: the age-old feud between two ancient clans, the boys and the girls. It boasts well-developed characters and some truly funny, well-written moments. The Malloy family of three girls moves to the town of Buckman, West Virginia, into a house that is across the river from the four Hatford brothers. The Malloy girls are 11-year-old tomboy Eddie, 10-year-old sci fi bookworm Beth, and 8-year-old intelligent, aspiring actress Caroline. The Hatford boys are 11-year-old prankster Jake, his quieter, artistic twin Josh, 9-year-old creative force Wally, and 7-year-old naive Peter. The boys decide to declare war on their new neighbors, hoping to drive the girls back to Ohio. But they haven't considered the counterattacks the girls are capable of.

The Girls Get Even is not as fresh as its predecessor, but still cute and amusing. The boy-girl feud continues in the second installment of the series. Beth, Caroline, and Eddie follow the boys on their camping trip at Smuggler's Cove with hilarious results. Both clans enter the Halloween costume parade hoping to win the contest. Caroline's fourth grade class puts on a Halloween play called The Goblin Queen, in which Caroline gets to show up Wally. Still smarting over each other's tricks, they each come up with a plan for Halloween night. Trick or treat indeed.
