It has taken
me longer to review this book than I had planned. Why, you ask…because I couldn't wrestle it
away from my children long enough to actually read it!
Strike of
the Sweepers is the fourth book in Tyler Whitesides' Janitors series. I have to say that Whitesides has an
incredible imagination. In each book I am always amazed at the ideas he comes up to
"glopify" cleaning supplies - the rake was classic. That would come in handy for a couple of my
children ;-).
Although my
kids were super excited to read the "next" one, I will admit I wasn't
all that thrilled. It seems like every
author nowadays writes a series and most of them really shouldn't. After two or three books the story usually
becomes repetitive and VERY predictable. I will admit I was expecting nothing less
from this series. However, I was
pleasantly surprised. The plot of course
was predictable, but there were enough surprises thrown in to keep you guessing
and make it enjoyable.
While this probably isn't a "classic" - it is a good book for
kids and adults who want a quick fun read.
