If you like books with bullies, secret identities, and smart kids, then I've got a book for you. Shredderman is a realistic fiction book full of spying nerds, bullies, and bad nicknames.

I read the book Shredderman: Secret Identity by Wendelin Van Draanen. The book is about a boy named Nolan who is being picked on and he’s doing a project on bulling. Nolan is short and skinny. He has freckles on his face and he has gray eyes and orange hair. This book is illustrated by Brian Biggs. I like the book because it’s funny and interesting.

Shredderman: Secret Identity it is realistic fiction and it is by Wendelin van Draanen. The main idea is that Nolan wants to do a project on Bubba and he does not want his dad to find out that he is doing it on Bubba. Nolan and Bubba are the main characters and Nolan always likes to learn different things. Bubba is a bully and he likes to bully a lot of kids and most of the time the kids aren’t doing anything. He even calls them names. The setting is mostly in school and sometimes at home. There are not a lot of illustrations. There are just pencil drawings and pictures, there is not color except in the front. My opinion is I really like it because it is a kid book and I am a kid. I recommend this book to all the classes in this school.

Caley, Grade 4, Northern Lincoln Elementary School

 

 

This book is about a fifth grade boy named Nolan.  Nolan’s teacher assigns his class a report to do on anybody and use anything, even technology.  Nolan knows exactly who to do his report on:  Bubba Bixby, the school bully.  Bubba always gets away with everything, so Nolan makes a website called Shredderman.com.  Nolan gets lots of pictures to put on the web but he has to keep it a secret and his parents keep butting in!  I think this is a good book because Nolan has to keep all of this a secret and he makes funny stuff on the web that you would like. 

Ryan, Grade 4, Northern Lincoln Elementary School

 

 

Shredderman is a wild and wacky adventure.  It takes place at Nolan’s house and at school.  His assignment is to do an article on someone or something.  Nolan happens to do his assignment on the bully in class.  The bully’s name is Bubba Bixby.  Nolan’s spare backpack happens to have a mini camera in the back.  Nolan wants to show that Bubba is a big trouble maker.  I love this book.  I think you should read it because it’s very funny.

Shredderman is by Wendelin Van Draanen.  Shredderman’s real name is Nolan Byrd.  In Shredderman, Nolan has to make a newspaper project.  He can use a camera and other technology.  He is going to do his project on Bubba Bixby.  Bubba Bixy is a bully who bullies Nolan and never gets in trouble.  So Nolan makes a web site with all of the mean stuff that Bubba does.  Nolan also makes up Shredderman so that no one would know who was doing the web site.  I like the book because it is funny and it shows that people can be very mean.  Other people should read this book because it is a cool book for boys and girls.  It’s not just a boy’s book—it is a girl’s book, too!

Jordan, Grade 4, Northern Lincoln Elementary School

 

 

Shredderman is about a boy named Nolan Byrd.  His teacher told him that he can use his computer, camera and printer for a school report.  The report has to be about someone.  For the subject of this report, Nolan picked Bubba Bixby.  Since Bubba is a bully, Nolan had to make it so that he did not get caught and would not get beaten up by Bubba.  He went to the Internet and made a web site called Shredderman.com.  You should read this book it is so good!  It should get the Rhode Island Children’s book award!

If you like books that are funny that have bullies and secret identities then this is a book for you. Shredderman is a great book I like it because it is funny. The illustrations are great even though they’re pencil sketches. The main character is Nolan. Bubba Bixby is the bully. The genre is Realistic Fiction because a kid could do this in real life. In this book Nolan is mad because a bully bullies people and never gets caught. So he does a report about Bubba the bully and tries not to get caught. Read more if you want the ending.

Samantha, W.L. Callahan  , Grade 5

 

 Nolan doesn’t have any friends. And everyone thinks he is a nerd. They call him “Nerd.” Nolan doesn’t like projects until Mr. Green assigns him to a project where you can use your computer, camera, and other things. Nolan had an idea to make his own web site to prove that Bubba is mean and beats up kids. Nolan has a secret identity he is Shredderman. He had to spread the word. So he threw confetti everywhere. Once people saw it they went on the site. People got really interested. Mr. Green found out it was Nolan and he became his sidekick. He had more ideas for the site. At the end Nolan wanted to interview his dad and he still into Shredderman.com.
