Rex Zero, The Great Pretender is the last book in the Rex
Zero series. Rex is a 7th grade boy whose family is moving
to a new school district. He is not happy about having to
make all new friends at his new school and about 3 big high
school bullies. He is also very concerned about losing his
old life and his old friends. The book is about how he
deals with these problems. One thing he does is develop a
plan to pretend to his parents that he is attending the new
school, but take the bus back to his old school. Another
thing he does is he tries to outsmart the bullies.
My opinion of this book is that any boy my age would like
it a lot. I really enjoyed it because Rex deals with the same
kinds of problems we all deal with, such as how to stay close
with our friends despite obstacles in our way and how to deal
with bullies. The fact that Rex is the narrator helps make it
easy to understand what he is feeling and where he is coming
from. I liked the book as much as crispy turkey bacon in the
morning. My favorite part is when Rex and his class at his
new school write a story together. The description of how they
do this is really funny. The fun he has doing this helps the reader
see that he is adjusting to his new social situation while remaining
connected to his old friends.
