Still, this tale can illustrate the consequences of one's actions and provides comfort to those who are waiting for the pranks to end.- Chris Shoemaker, New York Public LibraryĬopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. /rebates/2f97804399352582fCarlos-Gonna-Get-Emerson-Kevin-04399352532fplp&. However, the author allows too much action to occur offstage, and there's not enough information about Carlos's unspecified disorder to understand him or the teachers' treatment of him.

The suspenseful forest scene in which the plan goes awry and the children become lost stirs the primeval fears of cold and dark, and generates empathy for both the pranksters and the victim. They will commiserate with the students over the perceived favoritism that Carlos receives. While she agrees that Carlos’s insistence that he is in contact with aliens and his incessant body scratching are annoying, she begins to see. Thoughtful Trina is unsure whether she wants to take part. Trina's anger and embarrassment after her in-class humiliation because of an accident Carlos causes becomes almost visceral, and readers will be shocked at how well they identify with her in that moment. Bizarre, friendless Carlos is targeted by a group of classmates in this intriguing novel depicting the planning and execution of a cruel prank, told by the most dubious participant in the plan. Emerson fully explores some characters only to leave others languishing. As Trina gets to know Carlos, she begins second-guessing herself, especially since Sara, her best friend, has grown distant.

Trina uncovers his fear of aliens after being partnered with him for a school project, and the pranksters plan an extraterrestrial encounter for him during their class's wilderness excursion.

Grade 4–6-Trina and her seventh-grade classmates organize a trick against Carlos, their special-needs classmate with big hair, a squeaky voice, and scratching issues.
