Dodger and Me Audiobook

" Willie is at the bottom of the popular, athletic, and every other social chain until he meets the magical blue chimp Dodger. Funny, fast-paced with the promise of more adventures in the sequel. "

" Did you ever want a genie to get three wishes? Well, be careful what you ask for. Willy, didn't even want a genie, but he got one anyway: in the form of a blue, sloppy chimpanzee names Dodger that only he can see. He tries to help Willy with his problems. One problem is having no friends since his best friend moved; but it doesn't always go the way Willy thinks it will. "

" Willie isn't the most popular kid in school. As a matter of fact he isn't popular at all. One reason could be that he is a horrible baseball player. For it was Willie's fault that his team did not win the second to last game. The game that would have guaranteed his team the championship. But never fear Dodger is here. Dodger is a blue chimpanzee that only Willie can see. He is a friend that helps Willie play better baseball. And a friend that helps Willie learn some very valuable leasons. This is a humorous story that is a easy read. "

" I have thoroughly enjoyed Jordan Sonnenblick's YA novels (I got to sit next to him at a conference and then to see him working with 8th graders at one of our Intermediate schools) and Dodger and Me is also quite good. I think reluctant boy readers would really like it. "

" My favorite type of book...funny and the main character is kind of a doofus. I think that chimp says, "Dude..." more than I do. "

" Lively romp especially appealing to baseball fans, 10 year-old boys and self-described nerds. There is a wonderful young female character and a freaky, blue imaginary friend. All adds up to lots of fun. "

" Cute fantasy about an ordinary kid with ordinary problems who gets some extraordinary solutions. "

" Clearly I am not the target audience but I thought it would have broad appeal. Funny and silly without being condescending. "

" Overall not a memorable book although humor is okay and boys that like the Wimpy Kid would probably like this, the first in a series about a boy and his blue chimp genie that, uncharacteristically, is not helpful to 5th grade Will. "

" "It's a friendship story." (Read during class quiet reading time.) "

" Fun new series to introduce my students to. "

" First middle grade novel from YA author Sonnenblick. Social nobody and mediocre baseball player Willy has his life turned upside down when an invisible blue chimp named Dodger turns up. Funny and good for the intended audience. "

" Cute, easy read about a boy and his imaginary chimp. Wish there was not such a negative undertone. "

" Fun 4th grade book fantasy humor. "

" Cute older elementary school, lower end middle school book. 5th grade Willie loves baseball, but has no friends until Dodger comes along and changes his life and perspective. Good story about friendship and sports "

" Elementary boys would like it- silly "

" Lots of silly fun. A boy comes into his own. Creative, imaginative, and entertaining. Grades 1 and up. "

" It was awsome! I Cant Wait to read "Dodger for president"! "

" A little to childish for me.. but some fun nonetheless. "

" This book is obviously an amateur attempt at writing a kid's chapter book. It is not well written, the characters are cliche, and the ending just kind of ends. "
