"Germy Johnson is a very real little boy. Whether he's revelling in the Ka-chuk! sound of his new skateboard, or feeling a spider crawl on his arm...or noticing wires inside the hole in a light pole...his voice is both authentic and sympathetic. The story is fast-paced and filled with enough ordinary but perplexing problems to keep readers turning the pages. Highly recommended." 5 stars, Mycelia, Amazon

"Germy Johnson's Stolen Skateboard is another delightful book by Alison Lohans about J.J. and his struggles to overcome obstacles.... As a former teacher, I would have loved to read this book to my class. Kids aged 7-10 in particular would be thrilled, although it also appealed to the child in me. An interesting and fun read!" 5 stars, Laurel Beyer, Amazon
