Review by Sam

SUPER Creative Book! I loved this book so much! It’s an amazing book for anyone who loves realistic fiction or even comedy! It has so many unexpected plot twists, and it totally captures the way actual people behave. I think that this book is a great reading level for almost anybody. It was definitely worth the read!

Review by Anita

Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz is a hilarious book about a girl whose life is absolutely falling apart. Her mother is dating her assistant principal, and she discovers hanging out with the cool kids isn't as cool as it's made out to be, because straight-A student Evie has somehow earned herself more detentions than she can count. Is there any way Evie can fix this mess, has she gotten into something she can't escape?

Review by Yael

Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz is an amazing book. As a pre-teen Jewish girl, I can relate to Evie's struggles, friendships and life in general. The characters have great personalities and I love the way the author describes them, Being the cantor's daughter, Evie is connected to Judaism like this. But since her dad died, nothing has been right. Her mom is starting to meet new people, and suddenly she starts dating Evie's assistant principal! Things start to get tough for Evie as she struggles with school bullies, and more importantly, making the right choices. She goes on a wild mantis-freeing chase as she learns what it truly means to be a friend. This book is perfect for people who enjoy realistic fiction and stories about middle school friendship. I would recommend this book to readers aged 10+.

crazy

Review by Bumblebatty

I liked it, but it was weird, and I don't understand why the weerdos wanted to smoke. (it's weird. wood not recommend for younger readers, but I can't explain why.)

Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz

Review by Unicorn_Sparkle

This book was pretty good. I think the praying mantis's were a fun addition to the plot. But I don't think that the smoking needed to be such a big part of the story, and there were some not needed details, and a few inappropriate parts that were extremely unnecessary. Overall it was a pretty good book, depending on your age and attention span.
