I think this book is definitely great for reluctant readers. It is aimed at older children, probably 3rd or 4th graders and is action packed. The way the author writes the story keeps young readers that might get bored interested the entire way through. Her character, Jason, wants to get a chance on a game show called Masquerade Mania. His family tells him that he is going on a camping trip instead and he does everything possible to distract them to get onto the show. He also gets bullied by a student in his class, but in the end learns "Ambie" really wants to be his friend as he competes against him in the show. From a dinosaur head to pink underwear, the reader never has a chance to get bored! I really enjoyed this book.
