My book review is about a boy named Homer Price. He lives in a small town two miles out of Centerburg with his friends and relatives. The story starts with Homer discovering a skunk in his kitchen drinking his Tabby cat's milk. When Homer decides to keep him as a pet, they start to go on great adventures to solve the case of the stolen case of money and shaving acessories. The two also run into Homer and his best friend Freddy's comic hero, the Super Duper. When the boys are in enough mess already, their doughnut machine goes bonkers and makes millions of doughnuts. At the same month an annual yarn tournament was held with people from all over the town with yarn balls as tall as houses. This book is great because it goes on and on with other hilarious stories. Like the mouse man and the area with all identical houses.
In my opinion I really enjoy this book because it's very humorous and I've read it before when I was 10. This book also brings a lot of memories and cracks me up just thinking about it. This book is so entertaining that I wish my city was just like Homer's. I also admire the entertaining mysteries Homer and his friends solve with the friendly aid of Homer's skunk Aroma. Homer Price is truly one of the best books I've read and still is. I can't wait to recommend it to a friend.
In this book, it was hard to choose a favorite part, butI have to say when the doughnut machine didn't turn off. Thats because everybody started to eat then panic with a million more doughnuts left. Then They started to sell two doughnuts for 5 cents.Until a wealthy woman claims that her bracelet is in one of the doughnuts, so they make a $100 reward for it. When the word went out the doughnuts started to sell, there was no luck. Until, a poor hoboe boy found the bracelet.

Centerburg. Homer Price. This is the place where the most Preposterous things seem to happen. The world that the kid, Homer Price lives in is a world of mystery and a world of humor. From giant ragweed to a continuous donut-making machine, from giant balls of yarn to Grandpa Hercules stories, Homer Price seems to be at the middle of everything. These stories of Homer Price are interesting, humorous, and a bit mysterious. In any way, this is a real book for jokers and ideal for people that enjoys the comedy.

Homer Price offers a funny and refreshing alternative to the current fiction that relentlessly confronts children with contemporary social problems. Now and then it's good for kids to read a book that makes them laugh out loud. Homer's smart and sincere ideas inevitably produce hilarious results. Robert McCloskey's amusing illustrations - Norman Rockwell-style line drawings - add to the pleasure of this book about a bright boy in a small American town.

Homer is bassically a mystery solver.He does a lot of things to help others.He is very nice and understanding.My favorite part is when he goes to his uncles restaurantand helps fix the doughnut machine.A lady comes in and wants some doughnuts but he has'nt made the mix yet.She helps him with it.She uses her own recipe.The doughnutsstart making and won't stop.The lady comes back .She'slost her diamond bracelet! If you want to know the rest read the book.I like this book because he's not only doing one thing in the story.There are all different stories in the book.I was so into this book I read it in one night.

This book was the best! It was so fun, and entertaining. I had a blast reading it! I really liked this book because it is writen in a very simple way and so it makes it easier for you to read and understand. I also like the idea of the book being split each chapter into one adventure, because if you don't like that certain chapter or adventure you can count on the next one to be of your choice. Also because every chapter is very exciting and interesting and so it makes you want to keep reading on and on. As I would say it's a "page turner" and I really recommend you read it! Believe me you'll love it!
