I hated this book. I read it to my students because it was recommended here and I made a mistake. I hated it. It was age-inappropriate for 9-year-olds and was confusing to them. It also has curse words in it!

A Great Book
Th Eyes of Kid Midas is a wonderful book, though iffy in its portrayment of violance and greed. It does in a way teach a valuble lesson and I urge people of all ages to go out and read this very entertaining book.

Because of the Divine Watch - a review by Amelia, age 10
Kevin Midas is nothing more then a major bully target for the school's big bully, Bertram Tarson. Then, just because of a gloomy camping trip, an urge to beat Bertram, lack of common sense, and a pair of glasses, Kevin finds himself in charge of the world. At first it seems like fun, but as time goes by it gets out of control. Can Kevin repair the damage he has done or has he made permanent changes in the world? The Eyes of Kid Midas is a good book for people ages 8- 100. 100 if adults like reading good kids’ chapter books. This book is also probably more appealing to people who like fiction, adventure, and suspense. I really liked this book for many reasons, but the main ones are that it describes things exactly the way they would be in real life if a boy had the power to rule the world. The other reason is it keeps you wondering so you can’t stop!
