When I signed Gordon Korman's ghost and coming of age middle grade novel Whatshisface out from my local library last fall, I fondly thought and hoped that I would really enjoy both the Shakespearean thematics and that main protagonist Cooper Vega's smartphone is indeed being haunted by a departed Elizabethan era spirit.

However, if truth be told, I must indeed admit that I actually never did get very far at all with Whatshisface , since I really do not at all enjoy stories where things make no When I signed Gordon Korman's ghost and coming of age middle grade novel Whatshisface out from my local library last fall, I fondly thought and hoped that I would really enjoy both the Shakespearean thematics and that main protagonist Cooper Vega's smartphone is indeed being haunted by a departed Elizabethan era spirit.

However, if truth be told, I must indeed admit that I actually never did get very far at all with Whatshisface , since I really do not at all enjoy stories where things make no common sense because of basic geography gaffes and issues. And with Whatshisface , since the action, since Gordon Korman's narrative seems to mostly take place in an American or a Canadian Stratford and no, obviously not Stratford-upon-Avon, England , I do totally find it hard to believe that Roderick Northrope, that an Elizabethan era British ghost would be haunting Cooper Vega's smart phone in North America.

For yes indeed, this just does not make any kind of sense with regard to place. And while I did in fact try to not let this geographical blunder bother me and to just enjoy Whatshisface as a story in and of itself, I just have not been able to do this and the amount of reading distraction, British phone ghost Roddy was causing me, it just became so annoying that I had to stop reading and to consider Whatshisface as abandoned even though I do feel a trifle guilty doing this, but well, I just completely and absolutely ended up losing my patience.

Furthermore, I also really do have to wonder why Gordon Korman does not realise that realistically speaking, and yes, even with a ghost story, the ghost, the departed spirit in question and in Whatshisface this is of course Roderick would need to hail from a similar locality as to where the presented and featured story is in fact taking place and to have in Whatshisface , the smart phone spirit come from England, from across the Atlantic Ocean to North America , this really is neither reasonable nor is it believable.

So yes, the above has indeed been frustrating and annoying enough for me personally to not want to finish Whatshisface , to abandon Whatshisface and to only consider a very grudging and probably even overly generous two star ranking, because I really and truly do consider the fact that Roddy is a British ghost haunting a North American smartphone quite sloppy penmanship on the part of Gordon Korman, and author sloppiness does generally rather majorly annoy and grate on me to no end.

Mar 29, Ms. Yingling rated it really liked it. At his newest school, he manages to run afoul of Brock, the popular, jerk-face jock. He has a pleasant interaction with Jolie, who is also popular and absolutely addicted to extreme sports. The town, Stratford, is greatly influenced by the wealthy Mr. Wulfson, who is a Shakespeare aficionado and collector of Shakespearean artifacts.

Because of this, the middle schoo E ARC from Edelweiss Plus Cooper Vega is used to moving a lot with his parents' jobs, but it still gets old being "what's his face".

Because of this, the middle school always puts on a play, and this year Romeo and Juliet is in line for porduction. Cooper has bigger problems, though-- the new phone with which his parents have tried to bribe him, the GX is glitchy Between wanting to go to class to see all of the innovations in the world, to cursing out Brock in inventive language, to giving Cooper tips on how to woo Jolie, Roddy is annoying, but also the closet thing Cooper has to a best friend.

He is also very helpful when Brock injures himself and Cooper has to step in to the role of Romeo! Eventually, Cooper and Roddy figure out why Roddy is haunting the phone, and investigate some of Mr. Wulfson's holdings in order to solve a centuries old mystery.

The phone is haunted, and we are just asked to believe that, as well as why Roddy is present. Cooper's plight as a new kid gives him more reason to run afoul of Brock and need a friend. Korman could really write just about anything and my students would read it. I am constantly amazed at the number of interesting ideas he can turn into stand alone titles.

Great stuff. Weaknesses: Do military families really have to move every six months? That was the only thing that I had trouble believing. The ghost, of course, but moving that often? What I really think: If this story were written by anyone else or had a different cover, it might take some hand selling, but this author and this cover will assure that this spends very little time on the shelf. I like a lot of Korman's books, but this one He writes realistic fiction very well, and he tries here, but the ghost haunting the phone just doesn't work.

The Shakespeare-written-by-a-lovesick-kid angle doesn't feel right. The whole thing is just off. Minor work by a major author. Apr 21, Melanie Dulaney rated it really liked it Shelves: middle-grades , humorous. It does have a few similarities to Slacker—middle grade main character with a school related problem plus a bit of humor. In this book, seventh grader Cooper Vega is at yet another new school trying to fit in and find friends.

Unfortunately, he is dubbed Whatshisface by an overbearing, but popular student and the name pretty much sums up how Cooper feels. The chuckles abound and so does a bit of mystery as Cooper and ghost Roddy attempt to right wrongs and woo fair maiden. Highly recommended. View 1 comment. May 17, UnbredSpring rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-agains.

I loved it! It was a page turner for sure. I read this book so fast. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes reading people speak olden. Jan 16, Fern Kuntz rated it really liked it. Whatshisface is about a seventh grade kid named Cooper Vega.

His father is in the military. He's known as Captain Vega. He is given orders on where to go, and is expected to go there.

They most recently moved to a town called Stratford. Since they move so much, he's is basically invisible at any school. His sister is the exact opposite of him, and makes friends very easily. His parents feel bad for him, so they get him the newest released phone. It takes a while to get used to, because it keeps Whatshisface is about a seventh grade kid named Cooper Vega.

It takes a while to get used to, because it keeps glitching and making weird noises. He also notices weird looking snowflakes falling on his screen to make some sort of figure. Later in the book, he figures out it is a person. His name is Roderick, but goes by Roddy. He says he is thirteen-years-old. He talks from the phone whenever he wants, so Cooper has to wear wireless earphones. He doesn't want to get caught at school. During a recess, someone named Brock asks him into a soccer game, because they're a player short, Cooper accepts even though they're calling him "whathisface.

A girl walking by named Jolie Solomon is invited into the game when they kick out Cooper. She can't replace him, because her wrist is broken. He's especially embarrassed, because he messes up in front of Jolie. She has been the only highlight of the time he has spent at school. She tries to defend Cooper, but she doesn't know his name. She apologizes for that, and tells him that she's more into extreme sports, like skiing, rock climbing, bungee jumping, and doing parkour, etc.

Jolie also likes acting. She's very serious about it. The seventh graders put on a Shakespeare play every year. They have to do a Shakespeare play, because a very rich man named Mr. Wolfson wanted to move to Stratford, which at the time was named Three Hills, he said he would pay them a lot of money, and move there, if they changed the name to Stratford. They only accepted, because the town was low on money. During the time of the auditions, the eighth graders reflect on the past year, and the sixth graders wait excitedly for the next year.

Cooper doesn't do well in the audition, so he knows he won't get a good role. When the sophisticated Innes Kent turns up on her doorstep, Lexie Sinclair realises she cannot wait any longer for her life to begin, and leaves for London. There, at the heart of the s Soho art scene, she carves out a new life. In the present day, Elina and Ted are reeling from the difficult birth of their first child. Elina struggles to reconcile the demands of motherhood with her sense of herself as an artist, and Ted is disturbed by memories of his own childhood that don't tally with his parents' version of events.

As Ted begins to search for answers, an extraordinary portrait of two women is revealed, separated by fifty years, but connected in ways that neither could ever have expected. When an autistic teenager appears in her yard, covered in blood, he leads her to a brutal crime scene where nothing is what it seems.

As Colomba gets pulled into the investigation and the body count continues to grow, she is implicated in the violence.

And can she clear her name and be free of the far-reaching legacy of the villain known as the Father Bursting with action, ingeniously plotted, and filled with one unexpected twist after another, Kill the King is a shocking and satisfying conclusion to this breathtakingly original crime series.

Highly recommended' Christopher Reich 'A mind-bending, stunningly original page-turner' Jonathan Kellerman. To make matters worse, on the day his school bans hats his preferred camouflage , Dylan goes up on his roof only to fall and wake up in the hospital with a broken leg—and a mandate to attend group therapy for self-harmers. Dylan vows to say nothing and zones out at therapy—until he meets Jamie. But will Dylan see it that way?

Very lightly borrowing on the classic fairy tale, she allows them to fail and succeed without resorting to paper villains or violent plot points to manipulate compassion. A believable and beautiful human story.
