Book Overview
No one knows the full story of Charlie Small. At least, not yet. His battered journal was found washed up on a remote, windswept shore. And at first we thought it an elaborate hoax. Surely no... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Charlie Small Gorilla City The best book ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I just got this book and it is the best book I have ever read. It is an adventure book. I'm almost done and plan to read more in this series. I love his adventures because I like books about different worlds. I am in grade 3 and am 8 years old. Definately buy this book!
An Adult's Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It is always a pleasure to pick up a book at random from the library shelves and really enjoy it! "Gorilla City" is well written, funny, and exciting. Charlie Small hurls himself from one crazy adventure to the next, from a mechanical rhinosaurus to salivating hyenas. If you lie awake at night worrying that the next book you read is going to bore you to tears, this is the book for you. The format is also interesting -- it is Charlie Small's actual journal with his own illustrations of what he has seen and specimens he collected during his adventures. I suppose I gave it only four stars because my favorite books are the ones with a real old-fashioned plot -- a beginning, a middle, and an end -- and "Gorilla City" does not bother with such trivialities. It is more like one long chase scene sandwiched between the covers of a book. But, in spite of the lack of plot, I would not hesitate to recommend "Gorilla City" to anyone looking for a fast-paced and exciting adventure.
I'm a big fan of the Charlie Small Books

So far I've read the 1st 2 books in the series. I love the books because it's cool how he goes on so many adventures. The books start right off with lots of action. So far my favorite is the Pirates one, but I am looking forward to reading all of the books. I am in third grade and I would recommend this book to any boy.
