Harold Schernoff, is the school nerd and he thinks that he has a solution for everything imaginable, from dating to getting x-ray vision from spilling pen ink on him self. But when its time to test out his theory's is all goes awry the ink makes him sick and he ends up going fishing but instead of catching something he gets caught. BY A FISH!! This story takes place in Hilliard Minnesota.
Like many other Gary Paulsen books, the Schernoff Discoveries is packed with lots of twists and turns and with lots of funny parts. Gary Paulsen lets us inside one of the most unpopular people in school. It also lets you read about his quest for coolness. But is he?s going to succeed or will he just make a bigger fool of himself. if you want to find out you will have to read this book. The only suggestion that I would make to improve this book is to make it longer it max is only 99 pages, it's really short for a book and has a lot of confusing words in it. I would probably suggest this book for all level of readers even though it has confusing words in it.
I gave this story a 9 for its well-written descriptions of the surroundings and what goes on in the school. It also has some hilarious parts in it like when Schernoff tries to go fishing but gets caught by the fish instead. This book keeps you wanting to know more. I think that everyone that is or was in school could to relate to it, weather your popular not popular or just a person who is always thinking up new ideas. I would have given this bok a 10 but didn?t think it was perfect and I thought it was super short.
