Creative Concept - Lacked depth

I received this book free from Tommy Nelson in exchange for an honest review. This looked like a fun book for middle graders. And I'd heard of Kel Mitchell and his work with Nickelodeon. The concept of the story is creative and fun - April Fools pranks becoming reality. I could see middle-school boys in particular enjoying the story-line and humorous moments portrayed in the illustrations and plot. However, as a Mom, I struggled a bit with some of the elements in the story and subject matter that's not necessarily geared to the lower middle-grade readers for example - our 'hero' is trying to get a girl to be his girlfriend...not exactly something an 8 year old kid is thinking about. I also struggled some while reading the story with the plot holes and lack of character development that left the story feeling very fake and unrealistic.... and while yes, the concept of pranks coming to life is complete fantasy because the story is written in a somewhat realistic style I was expecting a better balance of realism with fantasy as I've seen in other middle-school books written in this genre. Overall, I would recommend this book to reluctant readers who enjoy comics, jokes, and inventions. I would not recommend this book to advanced readers though as I think they would be frustrated as I was with the lack of character development and plot holes.

Highly Recommended!!

Prank Day is a fantastic book about a kid named Chase who decides to prank his whole school on April 1st to catch the attention of his crush Zoe. But then April 2nd comes and all his pranks have come to life. Now it’s up to Chase and his best friend Bobby to figure out what is going on and to try to save their town. This is a beautifully written and illustrated book. It has so much imagination and heart and is full of diversity, laughs and life lessons. It’s a wild fun ride for the whole family! I definitely recommend this book. Kel Mitchell has been a huge part of my growing up in the 90’s and he is the reason I fell in love with acting in the first place. So it was a great honor to receive a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastic Fun Chaos!

This is such a fun story overall! Reading it as an adult, I laughed at the "kookiness" and very much enjoyed the plot line. I received a free copy for an honest review. I love the characters and how diverse they are. You can totally "hear" their individual voices as you read. The pranks are so fun and definitely believable for a middle-schooler, especially the reason behind the pranks in the first place... I also loved the fantastic chaos that followed. I highly recommend this book.
