A review by ryanjamesburt
Janitors by Tyler Whitesides
4.0
1) Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
2) Genre: Middle Grade / Fantasy
3) Synopsis: You wouldn't know it unless you can see them but there are creatures in every grade school sucking on the brains of our children. The only thing between our children and stupidity is our Janitors.
4) Feelings: I admit I struggled with this book at the beginning. Not because it is a hard read but because I was expecting something else. Once I connected that it was a middle grade novel I enjoyed it much better. My wife read it and liked it and when I talked to her, she said, "I read it because 5th graders were skipping recess to read it." Anything worth skipping recess is worth reading.
5) Final recommendation: Fun middle grade read. Interesting story with some parts that were extra funny because my wife is a teacher.
