Charlie X and StarKazar and the Mysterious Happenings
By: CJ, Tabitha, David Edwards
Charlie X- Part fantasy and part science fiction, "Charlie X"
explores the question "why can’t people treat each other with dignity?" The lead character of the book "Charlie
Parker" is very short for his age. Because of his size, he is bullied and picked on by everyone including his parents.
As an adult, the bullying continues until a rock from outer space transforms the small man into a giant. Charlie grows to
an enormous size, beyond the point to which his loving wife and children are able to care for him. This captivating story
takes place in an airy Las Vegas setting. Charlie’s life is cruel and unfair. People made fun of him and embarrassed
him because he was different. Charlie was a great man and loved by his wife and kids and all he ever wanted was for others
to treat him with dignity and respect. The story is unforgettable and there is a lot to be learned from the complex characters
intended for teens of all ages.
StarKazar and the
Mysterious Happenings- A daring
teenage boy, Aaron, has mysterious powers, which in turn leads him to the discoveries surrounding his father (Lazarus). Aaron
and his three loyal friends go off to Alien Hill where they run into trouble, or did they? Aaron gets his first kiss after
some fancy moves during his favorite sport, soccer. He discovers another family relationship, Ethel Wingard, who he didn’t
know existed. Ethel explains to Aaron who he is, and how he performs his abilities, plus finds that assumptions and rumors
are not always true.
