Looney Experiment

The Looney Experiment by Luke Reynolds is wonderfully crafted and a pure joy to read. You enter the mind of Atticus, a middle school student who has a very active imagination that seems to take over his mind when it wants and not always at the ideal times. Dealing with some issues that so many middle-schoolers face, bullies, the cute girl and a Dad who left this book is a relevant work that was enjoyable to read. Atticus encounters Mr Looney a sub in his English class. Through Looney’s teaching Atticus finds his own way to navigate the problems he faces. This book will be great for any middle-school aged kid because they are all going to face one or more of these issues. I loved that Atticus’ imagination was a character unto itself in this book. As light hearted and fun to read this book also doesn’t stray fro dealing with the issues its character faces.
