The Readers and Writers Paradise Podcast 009: Shredderman by Wendelin Van Draanen

April 9, 2014 by Daniel Johnston 1 Comment

Hi everyone, thanks so much for checking out my podcast. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite book series ever. You heard that right; not just kids book series, but any books.

Shredderman by Wendelin Van Draanen has inspired me a ton, and this website would probably not exist without it. In Shredderman, a fourth grader named Nolan Byrd decides to set up a website called shredderman.com to expose the worst bully at his school Bubba Bixby.

Even though Nolan is a nerd at school, everyone loves his website and Bubba even ends up getting suspended. Nolan later solves a local crime, blows the lid on a man known as “the mole,” and even helps the government when people sell classified documents.

Nolan’s website turns him into an awesome force for good. I’d recommend this series mostly for 2nd to 6th grade boys, and for any type of reader, reluctant or compulsive. I talk about it in more detail in the podcast.

The Readers and Writers Paradise Podcast 008: The Million Dollar Series by Dan Gumtan

April 2, 2014 by Daniel Johnston Leave a Comment

One of my favorite book series for kids is the million dollar series by Dan Gutman. In the series there are five books-covering a variety of sports-that each give a kid the opportunity to win a million bucks.

Dan Gutman writes books kids want to read, and this is no exception. There was one kid I know of who didn’t want to read The Million Dollar Shot but after his mom showed him my review he decided to read it and now he loves it!

So I decided to do my podcast this week about this great book series. I talk all about the five different books and which I’d recommend getting first. Let me know what you think of the podcast in the comments below!
