Wendelin van draanen bio

Shredderman: Secret Identity by Wendelin Van Draanen is one of my absolute favorite kids books. It has inspired me in a lot of ways, and this website would probably not exist had I not read the book.

I first discovered it in the school library and soon became encapsulated in it.

I was reading it at the end of school and the teacher announced that it was time to pack up.

I didn&#;t hear the teacher, however, so engrossed was I in the book. A few minutes later I looked up and realized that everyone was already out the door.

Wendelin van draanen shredderman secret Bubba has been the bane of Nolan’s existence for five long years. So when Mr. Green asks the class to become reporters, Nolan decides he’ll write an exposé—on Bubba. He doesn’t want to sign his name to it (that’d be suicidal), so Nolan creates a secret identity for himself—on the Internet.

I don&#;t think I&#;ve ever been into any book that much before or since!

And then Nolan suddenly gets hit with a great, once in a lifetime, idea.

He should start a website and expose what Bubba&#;s been doing! Granted, Nolan doesn&#;t know how to create a website, but a few late nights should fix that. He convinces his mom to let him use her credit card to pay for the hosting, and the site is live.

Of course, Nolan can&#;t share his true identity.

Review

I haven&#;t made it any secret that this is one of my favorite books ever.I&#;ve read it several dozen times, and it never loses its magic.

Nolan tells us the story from the first person in a really realistic and exciting way.

Nolan is a super awesome kid, and almost anyone would want to be like him.

After reading this book I became interested in creating websites.I read it in third grade and my passion for making websites has only gotten stronger.

Every kid loves this book. For reluctant readers, for frequent readers, for ANY type of reader, this is simply the best.

Elementary school boys love Shredderman!
