Feather Brain
By Maureen Bush
This is an outstanding book. It is about a boy who gets bullied around by his nemesis. The boy uses his birthday money to buy a dinosaur building kit. He builds his dinosaur to attack the bully, but his plan backfires. In the end the boy and his nemesis team up to destroy the beast. It is an excellent read for students with rich imaginations. We give this book a 10 out of 10! You must read it or the beast will find you. The Rocky Mountain Book Awards Committee of George P. Nicholson School
This book was okay! I like how the bully turned out to be a kid who needed a friend as well. I enjoyed the idea of helping others and doing what is right.
I liked this and didn't like it because well I've read so many books like this where a kid gets a package and he bring something to life it may not be dinosaurs but still its the same backdrop. It really pains me to say but I'm going to have to give this book a 6%% just because this type story has become a cliché and I'd like to see something new I had a lot of hype built up for this book but it really let me down
I enjoyed Feather Brain for its unique quality of capturing the reader’s interest in such an easy read. My favorite part would have to be when he realized Stegy is alive. In all I would give it a nine out of ten.
Yes, I did enjoy Feather Brain. I liked it because it has a good storyline. Feather Brain was also good because it takes place in Calgary, so it was much easier to understand. I also like dinosaurs, so it was fun for me.
I did enjoy this story because when I thought Lucas was going to make a second dinosaur I was so happy. But when it turned out to be a disaster, it was an interesting change for me. I also liked the parts when he’d try to get rid f the dinosaur, because you just wouldn’t expect what would happen!
This book is really great. He made his own dinosaur to life. When other people see the dinosaur he made the dinosaur freezes. He makes an another dinosaur but it was deadly. He couldn't stand the dinosaur so he made his bully take it. The bully didn't know the dinosaur was alive and deadly and the dinosaur attack the bully and gave him scars and bruises. The boy felt sorry for him and he helped the bully and they froze the dinosaur.
I loved this book and it's one of my top 15 and if you like dinosaurs you'll love this book.
I thought this book was good. it was funny and a lot of fun. even my 3 year old sister liked it.

It's about one kid and it's his birthday and he gets a dinosaur model and it turns to life and they try to kill and they freeze it.
AWESOME BOOK.10 out of 10. Best book I've read, love the book.
I thought this book was very interesting. It was quite short but I enjoyed it. Some of the parts went really fast and you didn't know what was happening, but other than that I liked it. I will for sure read more books by Maureen Bush.
I liked it because it was funny but still didn't make a lot of sense.
I thought feather brain was a terrible book. It was so bland and boring because it has no description. The book seemed like it was for little kids. In the book it said they were in Grade 5!Not in Grade Kindergarten or Grade 1.I would rate this book a 1/10.It was just to boring for me.
I enjoyed feather brain because I like dinosaurs. The first few chapters were pretty good but what inspired me the most is the ending of the book when Lucas and Kyle rid of the beast. I give this book 10/10
LOVE IT!!
This book was very interesting. I liked it because it had certain parts that were very touching. I would highly recommend this book. I will for sure be reading more books by this author.
Boy named Lucas orders a dinosaur making kit off the internet. There was a tiny test tube, and a guide to make dinosaurs. He starts making a stegosaurus named Stegy. While he is making his paper mache liquid he added some of the liquid in the test tube to the paper mache liquid. When he finished the stegosaurus he noticed it was in a different spot when he got home from school. This is the beginning of an adventure that gets Lucas into trouble.
Lucas is a boy who has few friends, and when he gets a dinosaur kit that makes his dinos come alive, he knows he can get friends with the kit and let the kids in his class know about his alive dinosaurs but Luke needs to get past two things: a bully named Kyle and that only he can see his dinosaurs come alive unless someone steals it. Soon, Luke has to team up with someone to get rid of one dinosaur: a feathered, ferocious, and winged one.
