SCIENCE FICTION/MODERN FANTASY
CHAPTER BOOK
This book tells about a boy named Matt. He complains about his small room and wants to move into the family’s guest room. His mom will not let him take the extra room so he decides to sleep in the guest room anyway. Matt woke up to a scary adventure. He continues waking up throughout the book as different people like an older boy, a lion, a squirrel, a chubby kid among other scary ideas to him. He could not escape his bad dream because he was in a reality warp. Finally he wakes up as himself to find it is his birthday and his mom gives him the birthday present of moving into the guestroom. As a result of what happened last time he slept in there, Matt screams terrified of what might happen.
I would use this book in my classroom as part of the classroom library. Students should be exposed to science fiction and this book, along with the rest of the series, are captivating action packed books that young boys and girls love to read. Part of having a great classroom library is having a variety of books that meet the reading needs and wants of every student. Incorporating this book into my library would give students a chance to read fantasy and science fiction chapter books with complex vocabulary and plot development.
