Jimi & Isaac 4a Solar Powered

Jimi and Isaac are middle school boys becoming young men. They, and their readers, love discovering why things are the way they are. Boys of any age that dream great dreams, like books that raise questions, and that tear things apart just so they can put them back together will love Jimi & Isaac Books.Isaac Farmer doesn’t mind if people think that he’s obnoxious. But when people fail to recognize his obvious intellectual superiority, Isaac gets offended. He’ll do almost anything to get the recognition he deserves as the “best scientist in the school” – except ask for help.*****Book ReportMy best friend Isaac Farmer wrote a book about how he helped this guy named Weeds invent a whole new kind of solar electrical cell that actually really works pretty well. Isaac says that he wrote the book himself, but I think he had some help because the real Isaac is really obnoxious but the Isaac in this book is only sometimes obnoxious.Isaac figured the best way to win the science fair was to make the judges think he could save the planet, so he did this big display on “green” stuff. He put in everything he could think of (like solar power and wind power and stream power and outhouse power) and made it sound like it all worked and he understood everything. All he really did was copy stuff off the Internet. It fooled the judges and he won, but then Lipstick and the newspaper guy caught him and the principal got involved and then Mr. and Mrs. Farmer got involved and then Isaac had to actually build something that actually worked. This is a good book for kids because nobody does drugs or gets pregnant. Isaac talks about dog poop a little, but it’s part of the story and he doesn’t get too gross. I think he got some help on writing that part, too.- Jimi Peterson
