Nit
Boy: Lift Off
is about a boy called Lewis Snow who has a serious problem with nits (lice).
Most humans absolutely hate nits, but Lewis loves them! At Lewis’ school there
was a nit line to see who had nits, if you had nits you had to go home. Lewis
always had to go home because he always had nits. Lewis has a sister who is
sixteen and she hates Lewis. Lewis only had one real friend; his name is Chris.
Lewis’s nits are like the brothers and sisters that he never had, well
that’s if you can call Lewis’s sister a sister! Will Lewis keep his nits or
will he have to give them up? What
will happen? You’ll have to wait and read the book to find out.
I
really liked this book. I would give it four and a half stars out of five. I
would recommend it to kids aged ten to thirteen. Once you pick up it up it is
really hard to put it back down. This book has 111 pages including a very good
quiz at the end of it. Nit Boy: Lift Off
will always keep you guessing and that is part of the reason why I loved it.
