School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-6-Tapper Twins, Claudia and Reese, are back with another oral history. This time, they are working together, sort of. They need to set the record straight since they and their school, Culvert Prep, were victims of some irresponsible, biased reporting in the local papers. It seems the scavenger hunt, Claudia's brainchild, which raised over $8000 dollars for a local food bank, has been mis-reported. Yes, the scavenger hunt across most of the boroughs of Manhattan brought out the worst in the Culvert Prep students (and some parents) who were competing in it. Yes, it makes Mr. Tapper look like The. Worst. Parent. Ever. Really, all is not as it seems! Everyone-not just native New Yorkers-will enjoy this madcap, uproarious romp around the Big Apple, thanks to the maps and landmarks. As in The Tapper Twins Go to War (with each other) (2015, Little, Brown), the twins' story unfurls here in photos, texts, and interview transcripts. It won't take long for fans of the first installment, or new fans, to drop right into the action, hilarity, and mayhem. Really, where else would readers find one twin locked in a truck headed to New Jersey with half a school mascot and the other twin befriending a paparazzo stalking a pop star, not to mention fisticuffs between rival Times Square Flubbies? This title booktalks itself. VERDICT A definite purchase.-Brenda Kahn, Tenakill Middle School, Closter, NJ © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
