True Talents by David Lubar
There is no question that David Lubar is a talented, funny author. True Talents, a late coming sequel to Hidden Talents, offers his same usual humor, adventures, and one-liners. But this book is primarily for the upper elementary, early middle school set. I give it a NAY for Thumb's Up.
I enjoyed True Talents, and I have middle and high school students reading it. But I'm having an issue with all of the sequels I'm reading. If you haven't read the first, the sequel just doesn't have the impact of a good stand-alone book. Nay.
