What's the basic storyline?
The book is about a rich boy, who, when he is a baby, gets left on the steps of a poor house. He slaves away each day for Ma and Pa Scubbins’ Laundry Service. Then one day he sets off to find his parents. His only clue is the silver spoon that Pa Scubbins pawned in town. Along the way, he meets some pretty strange people.
Were the characters believable? What made them believable or unbelievable?
I think the main character was believable because he was just an ordinary boy who was off to find something that some people may take for granted, their parents.
Would you recommend this book to kids? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book because it has something for everyone: adventure, happiness, sadness, hope, love and so much more!
What's not-so-great about the book?
The book was fantastic! But it kind of leaves you hanging at the end because Solomon Snow never really finds what he needed. He is, however, treated a lot better in the end.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book? Explain.
I would rate it 9 to 9 1/2, because this was a wonderful story filled with different adventures on every page.
