Enemy Spy

The spying and coincidences jump the shark in this final book, but my 8-yr-old thinks the story is really cool. <br /><br />I love the changes in the kids and interactions with Bubba and others. Nolan's realizations of his power to slowly cause positive change in kids, and power to negatively affect those close to him are great. I think the messages were positive for my boys. <br /><br />Good middle grade series.

FIC VAN<br /><br />The ending of Shredderman is the best one so far. Nolan is in the wrong place at the wrong time. His ENTHUSIASM for solving mysteries might get him into trouble with the law, if not him, those he loves. Because he's so KNOWLEDGEABLE he can think about what adults may do and save himself some struggles. His COMMITMENT to solving the mystery of the Enemy Spy takes him to new heights, and Bubba is going to be there the whole time.

A satisfying wrap up. The crime in this becomes scary I'm grateful proper authorities come in to "take over " and the full circle closes.

Great series

Satisfying ending to a great kids series. My 6/8 year-olds loved it!

Long live Shredderman! I love these books and I love the conclusion to Nolan’s story. It is all so satisfying.<br /><br />The fight for truth and <br />Justice is real so watch out<br />For the Shredderman!

In this fourth installment in the Shredderman series, Nolan’s crime-fighting secret identity is endangered when he witnesses the trading of classified papers for cash. He finds an unlikely ally when the story breaks and a nosy reporter creates more trouble for him, his parents, and his teacher Mr. Green, who stands accused of taking the documents. Van Draanen’s smart, techno-savvy hero will have kids cheering for Shredderman as he proves again that everyone can make a difference in the world, no matter how small or powerless he feels. A dynamic character who is reminded that people are not always what they seem, Nolan fights for what he believes in, takes responsibility for his actions, and learns from his mistakes. The Shredderman series is good for classroom reading in grades 2-4, encouraging discussion on truth, justice, judging by appearances, and personal responsibility.

The fourth and final book in the Shredderman series. I was disappointed to learn it would be the last, but after reading it, I understand why. In the series, he starts by “shredding” on a bully in his classroom, In book 2, he deals with some issues that are at the school &amp; city level. Book 3: national figure visiting his community. Book 4: international intrigue! Was this intentional? I wonder. And it’s not just because of the international scope that the series had to end, but I won’t spoil it for you by giving it away. More reinforcement of how everyone is Shredderman, how everyone can fight for truth and justice where they live.

I love Wendelin Van Draanen. I love the whole premise of Nolan- I love that he is a big, lovable nerd, it's awesome. This was a really fun book, especially with the fun twist near the end. Loved that! I read this a few years ago and then listened to this book on tape, wow! The kid, Daniel who reads it, is an incredible actor. It was so engaging that we listened to it over and over in the car, me and my kiddos.
