Go-Go Guys is a hard-back book but if I didn’t know better after opening the book and reading the story I would have said it was a Comic Book while some people might think it’s a Anime. Which doesn’t matter what you label it just matters that you take the time to read Go-Go Guys and share it with all the Middle School Children you know and there parents.

The story is funny o read and the antics they did made me want to join them. Then I asked David to glance through the book and he ended up reading all the story on his own and liked it a lot. Once he finished David let me know we should share the book with my nephew Jason. Once Charlie heard this he sat down and started to look through the book.

Before I knew what was happening Charlie finished the book and asked me if there were other books by the Author, we could purchase to read during our Homeschool Reading Class. Charlie loved the illustrations so much that he has even been drawing more for fun which is a Godsend as it gets Charlie off the electronics.

If you haven’t have the opportunity to check Go-Go Guys I hope you do as soon as possible and that you share this novel with all the children, you know. If you know a teacher with children going back to school soon you should purchase a copy of the book for any teacher, you or your children may know as well as the librarians in their school.
