All of my class mates said this book was rubbish but I ignored them and decided to give it a go and now it's one of my favourite books ever. That just goes to show make your own decisions and try to be independent.

I rate this book a 3 because I don't usually like superhero books but this one was one of the better ones that I have read

I really liked this book because it surprised me when he was being really naughty. I didn't realise that Ace was an orphan, this was a good twist to the story. The characters made me laugh, when Ace thought he was a super hero.

Not my favourite book but still a really good one and my favourite character was Velvet.

very funny and a heart melting book well done.

i liked that he find out more clues on his way

I didn't really like this book. It was a slow starter and it was hard to get into. However, my favourite character was Velvet.

Just Call Me Spaghetti-Hoop Boy was not my favourite book on the Shortlist, nut it wasn't all that bad. Some moments were heart-breaking and some heart-breaking. Velvet was my personal favourite, just because of her quirkiness. The storyline; not terrible, not perfect. This book was quite a slow-starter and,for me, didn't really escalate in eventfulness or excitement. I guess this isn't really my genre as I prefer to read fantasies. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys emotional, realistic stories.

This was definitely my favorite out of them all because of all the elements of surprise and sadness. i almost cried at the end!!

It is a very good book with an ending that i didn't expect. It written from the point of view of Adam the main character. The book I wouldn't say really fits into a genre. It is an enjoyable read and would recommend for people who are looking for a fun, easy read.

I love ?? superheroes and I like comics ?This was amazing and I loved it and I like spaghetti.

This book was a very good book.I was reading it but then it was so good I didn't even realize that it was time for bed!

I hated this book because in my opinion it had horrible descriptions and is quite boring to me . That is why I rated this book 1 out of 5.

This book was about a boy named Adam Butters and he was adopted an he loved comics. Then he heard about a jelly bean and him getting re-homed and he thought it was a baby. Sadly he went off trying to find his real mother called Rose Parker and he found her but then his mother told him the truth about the jelly bean. I liked the bit when his sister had an imaginary dog called sausage roll. However i didn't like the bit when he ran away from his mother and the police tried to find him. I would recommend this book to a person who likes sad types of books . I gave this book 3 out of 5 basically because it was way to sad for me.

This book is about Adam Butters an adopted child hows trying to find his mum and when finds her he figures out that his mum doesn't wan't him. I enjoyed the funny parts and the adventurous parts.

This book was good but I found it was depressing also the sadness got in the way of the humor.

I loved this book because it was about real life and an adopted boy searching for his real mum. It made me feel lots of emotions but sad at the end when he had found his mum, then she went away without saying goodbye. Adam realised his adopted family were all he needed and loved him so much.

I really liked the book. My favourite part was the fact that it is just a regular child who wants to be a super hero.

I read Just Call Me Spaghetti Hoop Boy. This book gives lots of detail about what's happening in the book. My best part was when Adam (Ace) finds his mum. I would recommend this book to people who don't have a mum or neither a dad.

The book was so existing it used incredible vocabulary.

This was a book full of exitment

I liked this book because I like at the start how Adam has only 1 friend (tiny Eric)but then at the end he has 1 best friend Lexi who also loves superheroes and also when he opened the envelope and found out about his mum and his real name which is ace and I just liked it ??

A really intriguing book and it pulled me in as a reader. The author really tried to hook people in and accomplished that.I recommend this book to people ages 8 and older or to people who like superheros.I really liked this book as it was exciting made me want to keep reading once I stopped.

I liked this book. The plot set the story up for great success. It is a book unlike any others. Although it was different, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped to. I would read it again though.

This book was very good it was a bit boring at the beginning but slowly became more interesting with funny parts all the way through. I really like this book and that why i rated it a 4 out of 5!

I'm rating this a 5-I have to.It was the saddest book I've EVER read.

He tried to make everyone proud of him and his best friend left to go back to Poland.His real mum left him-he wanted to make her proud by inviting her to a school project; she wasn't interested.While he was a baby she left him by a SWIMMING POOL.

This book was heartbreaking... A MUST READ!!!!!!

This book is not my type I dont like books that are like this I only like books like with world war 2 and comics but some other books I also like but for the most part it is just world wars and comics.

I did not like this book at all it never hooked me it was boring and not my type I like the idea however

this book is very good i like how Adam dreams a lot just like me i was upset that his mother didn't want him but as a result his new parents are loving my favorite character is sausage roll

One of those books you dream of reading and all too rarely find.

I can't tell you how much I loved the book, Just call me spaghetti hoop boy! It is a heartwarming story about a boy called Adam, who is trying to find out who he is and where he really belongs;all Adam needs to do is know that he is where he belongs. There were emotional and inspirational parts in the book.It is well and truly One of the best books I have ever read.

I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH OF A GREAT BOOK THIS IS.I CAN RELATE TO IT SO MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE AUTHOR LARA WILLIAMSON AND YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION. I RATE THIS BOOK 5 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE OF THE NAME,FRONT COVER AND THE THEMEING AND STORY LINE OF THE BOOK.

This book is my second favorite although it is a pretty emotional book. It's about a boy who is adopted. His new mum is feeling down Adam Butters {a.k.a ace which is his birth name}felt bad and needed to become a superhero and save his mum.

It was okay.It made me laugh but it wasn't my best book.

I found this book very moving because of the main character's problems. It was very good and I enjoyed it very much

I really enjoyed the start of the book, it made me laugh. But as you go on it gets a bit boring because it goes on and on about him being adopted..when you get near the end you want to keep reading on because it builds a lot of suspense. Overall the story is quite good but personly I would like more of an action type of book, more than an emotion type of book.

this book is a mystery story that you can enjoy at any time in the day it is quite an emotional story and be warned you may need a box of extra large tissues next to you

I didn’t like this book because was hard to follow and it wouldn’t stay on the same point for very long before it went onto another part of the story.

This Book taught me that you don't have to be super to be a super hero,I thought the characters were very determined especially this boy called Adam who loved eating spaghetti hoops. Adam is adopted and has two sister he also has a best friend. Adam really wanted to be a superhero because he wanted to make everybody happy. After I felt a mix with emotion and happiness because I love happy endings.

This book was alright. I think I would of liked it more if there wasn't so much sadness because in my opinion it got in the way of the funny side. you just couldn't laugh at the jokes without feeling sorry for him. over all a little less sadness please.

I really enjoyed this book and although the start was a bit boring I carried on and just really got into it! I could really relate to Minnie as she loves makeup and so do I! I would definitely recommend this book but for 8+ as it has a bit of childish humour more than teen humour! Overall this book is the best so I rate it 5/5!

Not that keen on books were people are adoccted and away from there parents

I kind of liked this book because it was funny and also a bit boring. I'm not sure if I would recommend this book to anyone. I really didn't like that Adam was unsatisfied with what he already had because that just made him seem greedy. Overall, I didn't like this book.:(

I like this book and think that this a great plus emotional book.But the more I read the book the more I liked it but had second thoughts about it.

I rated this book a 3 out of 5 because it was a bit boring but quite funny as well. I liked that all he wanted to do is make people happy . Also at the start he read the envelope that he wasn't supposed to read until he was 16 but he did it anyway. But it was very boring too.

Adam Butters is a very determined, adopted boy. Who always felt that a part of him was missing. He tried to fill the empty hole by collecting endless information about his birth mother, Rose, and selected information that proved he was unwanted by his adopted family. He constantly fantasised about being a happy family with his wonderful birth mother.

I found this book very hard to get into because the characters were difficult to identify and quite unbelievable to me. Personally, I didn't like the superhero element but I know other people might. I couldn't help but think that if he talked about it to his adopted mum things would have been ok. Over all this book had lots of important things to say, but the way Lara dealt with them did not connect with me. Despite this, I really enjoyed the use of similes.

I recommend this book for ages 9+.

Adam Butters is just an ordinary boy, living in an ordinary street, in an ordinary town. Although his life may seem perfect, there is a piece missing from his heart. Soon its not only him that's affected, but his mum as well, who is hiding a big secret. To cheer her up Adam decides to become a ... superhero! After all, everyone loves a superhero, don't they? This is not one of the best books I have read, but I still think other people would enjoy it.

Spaghetti hoop boy is very worried when he hears his mum talking to grandma about a jelly bean he thinks he is being re-homed when he finds a letter in his Mum's draw.

I enjoyed this book because it was very eventful and held a very important motto: everyone's super. My favorite character was the Beast because it was clear that he is actually good, despite what everyone else said. This is a very good book!

I liked this book it is inspirational for those who think they have no one when they have many people who care about them. It was moving and interesting. I loved it.

I think this book is really good and really emotional. It is really moving. I really loved.

I loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of hope in their life and anybody who loves super heroes and adventure. I absolutely loved this book!

I liked this book because it was very inspirational many people if you love spaghetti-hoops than this is defiantly the type of book for you. I would definitely the book for you.

this is my last book

I really liked how what he wanted to do was a lot harder than he thought it would be, I like hiss sisters and his mum and dad.

although it was a okay book it was not my cup of tea. i did not like what he likes and was disapointed about the structure.i also found it very unlikley.

I really enjoyed this book because it is very amusing,cheerful and funny.I would recommend this book to spaghetti hoop lovers.I gave this book a go so why don't you try as well.

I didn't like this book but it was a bit exciting and i liked the vocabulary and the adjectives. You should read this BOOK! This book was hilarious.

it was a really bad book because the whole book was very boring because nothing exited happened

Hilarious and heart-warming, this book is really enjoyable and I would recommend. I rated 5/5 because it had a great storyline and was a nice mix of comedy with some sad events.

I like this book because of the vocabulary in it like adjectives and expanded noun phrases. I would rate this to people who like supermans.

I loved This book. It was so sad ? and so good ?. I recommend this book ? to people who love ?? mystery and superheroes and to people with all ages. I read this at night?,at school ?and in my spare time.??

I am really enjoying this book it has a bit of everything! Adventures happen and it is also really funny. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody ages 7~14 This style of book is something I would read again.

Just call me spaghetti-hoop boy is very enjoyable. It is very sad near the end, also very interesting. I would definitely recommend this book to people who love reading books about superheroes.

This is an amazing book and I thought it was very heart touching when I got to know some secrets of the main character. I have finally finished Leeds book awards and I loved all of the interesting books.

This book was a page turner,but at some points of the book I got bored.I would recommend this book for children,who like reading fantasy and superhero books.

This book was a thrilling comedy. It was quite predictable however that just left me more on edge to see if I was right. A truly heart warming story that will leave you smiling and wanting some spaghetti hoops!

This book is nice but it is also a bit boring.Lara Williamson hasn't put anything that is really interesting.

I seriously didn't like this book.The only thrill of the book was finding out he was adopted.I'm really not recommending this book to anyone apart from my friends.No offense to the writer at all.I just didn't enjoy it.Write something with more thrill maybe?

Just Call Me Spaghetti-Hoop Boy, as silly as the title might suggest, is an amazing, emotional book. I haven't read Lara's other books, but, if what my friends say are true, they are as amzing as this one. With no doubt this is my favourite of the current three books I have read, because of its heartwarming story. In case Lara ever sees this, you are an amzing writer and you deserve countless awards. :)

I love this book its really makes you laugh while making you emotional. But one thing that needed to be improved was a dramatic ending instead of a boring ending. Apart from that I love the book. I recommend this to people who love super heros.

I really liked this book and enjoyed reading it.

It was incredibly written and I enjoyed the end bit because the adoption mum had a very nice and caring talk to him about how much he meant to her.

I would definitely recommend this book to other readers who like to read different genres.

By the way well done Laura for creating a book of wonder.

This book is ok but it is a bit confusing because it barely mentions spaghetti hoops.It started off being really interesting but towards the end it started getting boring.I liked the bit when Adam found out where his real mum lived. I recommend this book to any age really.In my opinion I think this book is for girls and boys.Even though I did not really enjoy this book I would still read more books from this author.

I really enjoyed this book! It's unlike anything I've read before and it's really funny! I would recommend this book and I would definitely read more books from this author! My favourite character is...well i don't know, they're all so cool and i would give it a big thumbs up!

This book was okay but it was a bit confusing because it hardly ever spoke about spaghetti hoops ! It was good but in some parts a bit boring and dragged out for to long.Personally I wouldn't recommend it but some people really like it . I would read another book by this author but this one wasn't quite my type .In opinion this is more of a boy book but girls can or might want to read it .

This book is about an adopted 11-year-old boy, Adam Butters who lives with his adoptive mum and dad, his two adoptive sisters Minnie and Velvet and Velvet's imaginary dog, Sausage Roll.

When asked to make a family tree for a school project, Adam begins to think about his real mother and why she left him. Meanwhile, he begins to wonder if his adoptive parents are having a baby and whether Adam would have to be re-homed.

This leads him to searching for his biological mother and his emotional journey of ups and downs whilst trying to become a 'superhero'.

Overall, this book was enjoyable,however, it lacked something which I cannot quite place. I would recommend this book to people who loves family orientated stories, but I myself didn't quite enjoy it as much as the other stories from the 9-11 category.

I didn't really enjoy this book at first , I found it boring but when questions and mysteries started pouring in. I found myself enjoying it. Also the description was very creative and realistic.I gave it a 3/5 because I only really delved into it when the dramatic bits came in. As well I dislike the lack of spaghetti-hoops. This was a very good book when there was a choice in what to think the answer is! The story is about a boy adopted by the butters family and his first mission is to find his real mother but he ends up ignoring a few other people in his life. I recommend this book to an age group in between 10 and 13 as I think it can interest a lot more people.

This is the best book so far!!!!I love the detail and the adventure he goes on because it was heart-warming and sad at parts. That is why I gave it 5 out of 5! I would certainly recommend this book to the ages 10-12. I would liked read more books by Lara Williamson.

The main character of Just Call Me Spagetti Hoop Boy is Adam. Adam likes comics but there is one part of him missing because he was adopted.

This was quite a good book. I liked it because when I looked at the front cover I expected to be about a super-hero like in comics but actually it's about a hero. My favourite character is Velvet because she is funny and very imaginative.

I do not recommend this book because the book only mentions Just call me spaghetti hoop boy once and the book it self wasn't very good. It was a bit confusing so I definitely do not recommend this book.

I like this book because Adam tries to find his mum but at the end he realizes that his family is where he was before

I really enjoyed this book it had a lot of funny jokes in it. The book is about a boy called Adam/ace who feels like he doesn't fit in. My favourite part was the end. I would recommend this book for people who want to know how it feels to be adopted or like superheroes because being a superhero and liking comics is a rather large part of this book. I rate this book 5/5 because it was very heartwarming and heart breaking.

This book is a great read for 9-11 year olds it has some very sad parts and

very warming parts. Highly recommended!

This is definitely one of my all time favourite books. I would recommend this book to children who like comedy books. I really like Addem Butters he is my favourite character in the book.

I enjoyed this book, some parts were slow paced. This book is really funny, it would definitely appeal to boys and girls and most ages. I wouldn't judge a book by its cover because it has superheros in but not that much. I would suggest this book.

This book was really good it made me laugh a lot at the end of the story. Near the middle of the story Spaghetti hoop boy wanted to be a super hero. Parts of the book were also sad. It had amazing vocabulary and made me want to read more of the book.

This is a loving heartwarming story about a adopted boy who loves spaghetti hoops!I love this book because it makes you feel lots of different emotions all at once.He is trying to find his real mum but it is hard.I wish this story would never end!

Adam Butters is adopted and when Mrs Chatterjee sets a project on their family he wants to find out more his REAL mother.Unfortunately, along the way Adam accidentally discovers secrets about his foster family.Will he ever meet his real parents? I rate this book four because i really enjoyed the content and mystery;i think it could be read by lots of children and teenagers.I think the book might be a mystery book because of the amount of suspension it gives you and makes you want to read more of Lara's books she has written.I did not enjoy the sad parts but it would not of been excellent or breath-taking without them.I do not have a favourite part as all of it was great and i am really looking forward to reading my next book Letters from the lighthouse by Emma Carroll.

I really liked this book and that his real name was Ace and he thinks that he is a super hero.

This IS A GOOD BOOK . It is a good book because many authors don't do books like this about spaghetti hoops and a boy!Its about a boy who is a hero and he also loves spaghetti hoops !

This book was really good as it made me laugh lots at the start. It had amazing vocabulary and made me want to read more. It took ne through a rollercoaster of emotions, from happy to sad.

It was ok at the start then it got boring then i got confused

Just call me Spaghetti-Hoop boy, is about a young boy (called Adam) who is determined to find out who his real mother is. This book was a sort of book that I would definitely like to read again since it was well written and was very adventurous. It was a thrilling roller coaster of emotions from the beginning all the way till the end. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries and emotional books. I would like to see the author write some more books that have a bit more descriptive language in; however, I would definitely advise the author to keep on writing, since her books are very fascinating.

For starters this is a good book a real adventure for all.

my favourite character is tiny Eric how he is a brilliant artist and a fantastic friend to have.

I would recommend this book to anyone up for a fight.

This book is absolutely amazing.Its plot was the most sad out of the entire 9 to 11 list.

Just call me Spagetti hoop boy is a thrilling roller coaster of emotions from start to finish.It had me gripped onto my seat the whole way through. From the tragic moments to the happy ending,it is a book I recommend to everyone who is strapped in for a thrilling ride.:D

THE BOOK 'JUST CALL ME SPAGHETTI-HOOP BOY' WAS LIKE AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER: SPIRITS WERE HIGH WHEN ADAM WAS HAPPY, THOUGH THEY ESCALATED PRETTY QUICKLY IF THE CHARACTER'S EMOTIONS CHANGED. ALTHOUGH THE STORY WAS PARTIALLY SAD, I LOVED IT AS YOU CAN FEEL HOW THE CHARACTERS (ESPECIALLY ADAM)FEEL.

I think this book appealed to me in a very different manner from 'Who let the gods out' and 'The Explorer' as it was quite a sad story. Looking at the book now, I think it was because it had to do with adoption.I would recommend this book to any who need their next 'sad' book and I gave this a 5/5 :):)

Just call me Spaghetti Hoop Boy is really disappointing, as nothing actually happens. The character doesn't like to eat spaghetti hoops. He looks for his real mum and I found it really sad. I do not recommend it.

I like this book because it is very funny in parts of it. Adam/Ace has a very nice personality and he is very like me. His mum is very stubborn and depressing she is pretty like my mum. My faveourite character is definitly Adam.

I really enjoyed this book because it was really sad and heartwarming in some parts. It did make me feel a bit sorry for Ace because he didn't have the best start in life. I would definitely recommend this book. ?

Adam Butters was abandoned when he was little and has been adopted. His real mum called him Ace, so he thinks he is a super hero! He has heard that his foster mum could be having a new baby and he sees a slip of paper saying "rehoming" on it. Adam thinks they want to find a new home for him and let the Jelly Bean (baby) sleep in his room!!

This is about Adam trying to find his real mum and asking if he will be able to live with her. Will he find her in time and will he want to live with her?

Just call me Spaghetti Hoop Boy is a funny book. I gave to book 5 out of 5 stars because I couldn't put it down.

I absolutely loved this book,one of my favourite part is when Adam(Ace) finds his mother. This was an amazing book because I couldn't stop reading it. I recommend this to people who love reading a slightly humourous books. My favourite character was Minnie because she always cares for Adam and reminds me of my sister.

I really enjoyed this book because this book was very sad and funny. I have never read a book about a boy being adopted which is related for some people.

I thought this would be really comical because of the title but it was really deep and made me appreaciate my mum. It even brought a tear to my eye at one point. I recommend this book for people from ten to twelve.

I loved this book. But I wouldn't pick it out if i saw it in a library. The title hasn't really got anything to do with the story though. And I wish the chapters told us a bit about the story.

The book is great,I think you should carry on making books!

I loved this book. But I wouldn't pick it out if I saw it in a library. I would totally recommend it to friends and family.

I found this book quite sad through out the story. The front cover lead me to believe it was from the comedy section but as I read I learnt it was a sad but heart warming story. I rate this book 4 out of because i was hoping it would be a comedy but it is a very good read.

This book is good because there is a person that thinks

I loved this book because it is full of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. It is about a boy who is trying to find his real mum because he thinks he is being replaced by a baby. I would recommend this book because it is a heart felt story.

overall its a good boooooooooook but there are a few sad and upsetting parts .

Just Call Me Spaghetti Hoop Boy was a brilliant book for me to read. In my opinion, there were never any boring bits and it was well written, especially from an eleven year old's perspective of the world. It does describe the characters at the start, so you know what is going on.

I think the story teaches that you can be anything and Adam Butters, who is the main character of the story, wanted to be a superhero. He does get into a lot of mischief but it's worth it in the end.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes fictional stories that include love, friendship, courage and general happiness. I would give it a 5/5.

good

The book looks really jolly on the outside but when you actually read it is quite sad. I don't really like sad stories but if you do its really heart touching :)

I really love this book! At first when you look at this you would think it is a really happy book but really it has quite a lot of emotion. My favourite character is Adam because he wants to be a superhero to solve problems and make people such as his mum really happy.

I really liked this book and it was very emotional.It was quite funny and Adam has a dream to be a superhero he never wants to give up.He is determined to find his real mum.??

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a mixture of comedy and superheroes and I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

I Quite liked Just Call Me Spaghetti-hoop Boy. I would probably read this again but i have got to admit it is not my favourite.In some bits it is quite sad but overall it is quite good!

This ia about a boy called Adam Butters. He has known he's adopted and has been happy with his adopted family yet a school project completely changed his life. This project was about a family tree. Adam decided that he wanted to find his real mother and find out more facts about her. This is a letter that Adam can not open until he is 16. He thinks there will be more facts about his mother and maybe all of his family. He opens the letter and gathers the information he needs. His mother's name is Rose Walkers. Adam's class went to the library to see if they can find more information. He searches Rose Walker to find information. Does Adam find his mother? Will he be happy forever? Yes? No?

Read the book to find out!!

My overall rating of this book is 4.5 as it was funny abd gave a lot of detail. I also understood it better than some of the other LBA books i have read. Best book so far!

The front cover led me to believe that this book was associated with the comedy genre, however, I was disappointed to find that it wasn't very funny and was a sad story. Although this book wasn't my favourite, it has a very creative story-line and some very heart-warming moments in it. Overall, this book was not what I was expecting and I would recommend it for ages 10 - 12 due to the sensitive subjects covered inside.

I thought it was a bit boring because it kept on talking about how to be a Superhero saying that you have to do good deeds, it was very repetitive. I recommend this book for 7-11 year olds who like Superheroes or even want to become one.

This is like a mystery with some comedy dotted about making it all the more intriguing.I like this book because instead of focusing on good description and grammar features it makes the story as interesting and as funny as possible.Adam is a foster child that has decided to solve his life mystery and track down his real mother. The only problem with this book is that there is just TOO little description so it is hard to visualise.If it had that then 5 out of 5 but it doesn't so just a heads up to the author try more adjectives or different sentence structures

really good but a bit boring to so read it if you like emotional stuff.

brilliant great vocabulary please make more books like that

It was super funny. I LOVED it. It was super funny.

Good

I think it was a book about perservence

this book is O.K. But its not my type of book. I recomend it to to people who like Jaqueline Wilson.

I liked this book because it was a bit like a real life drama but more funny. I liked Adam and his character as he is brave, cool and adventurous. I liked how at the end he made a friend and how he liked comics as I like comics to.

I think it is for 8 to 10 year olds

I did not really enjoy this book .I found it OK at the start but i lost what was going on near at the middle.The meaning of the title doesn't come in until near the end

it was ok but I felt that the "humour" got in the way of the sadness or the other way round depending on your personality .I felt that the title should have a more deeper meaning as it only makes sense in one sentence. However the me3aning was very good.

It wasnt my type of book and i think the humour got in the way of the sadness. i think it could of been called something different because there is only one sentence that tells you why its called that. it is heart warming and has a twist overall.

You see, everyone thought it was a 1/5 but I thought it was amazing! It started with a boy called Adam, who is an adopted boy as he was found near the bins in the park. He found his mum in it but she refused to live with him. He thought another boy was replacing him in his adopted home.

Will he move house? Who will he live with?

A heart warming story about a boy trying to find his real mother and at the same time trying make his adoption family happy and everyone loves a superhero . This book made me laugh and cry I rate it 4 out of 5!

This was the 3rd Leeds Book Award book I read.

I would not have read Just Call Me Spaghetti Hoop Boy if I had a choice because the blurb on the back did not interest me even though I like spaghetti hoops.

I found the beginning and middle a bit boring but the end was better.

I rate this book 5/5 as I loved this book because it made me laugh and I always wanted read it. It is such an adventurous book and is very funny.

Adam is a young boy who was adopted as a baby and he lives happily with the Butters. But one day at school, everyone in Adams class is asked to do a project on their family. This where Adam is determined to find his real mother.

I found this book exciting as Adam wanted to be a superhero and find his real mother. I did not really enjoy it because not much happened but I advise the author to keep writing. I would recommend this book to lovers of adventure and superheroes.

i enjoyed this book because it is heart warming and also heart breaking.i couldn't put it down and some parts are quite funny.i would recommend this book to ages 8+.

I rated this 5 out of 5 because I loved the characters' personalities, especially Dad's. I also liked the emotional vocabulary as it went all the way through the book, non- stop. I think that Lara Williamson did an outstanding job in writing this book.

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants a good read!

I really liked this book because itis action-packed and has a really good story to it. Totally going to read this book again!

I think the book was really interesting and I found it really good because it was an adventure which I like in all books. Adam(Ace) found out who his real mother was and received everything he needed from his two families. I rated this book four because I found it sad, but a very good book.

I wasn't that keen on this book because it wasn't really gripping at all times but nonetheless an enjoyable read. Even though I wasn't so keen on it, it gave me a good insight into what it was to be adopted.

The only reason it got two stars was because the ending was quite nice. That is all there is to say about this book.

I liked the first paragraph because the dog is called sausage roll.Also I liked the zorbitans.I would recommend it to be read by everyone because it was VERY funny.the dad in the book celebrates his 40th.the boy,Adam butters likes spaghetti-hoops.

Just call me spaghetti hoop boy is a great book. It is about an adopted boy called ADAM BUTTERS. ADAM loves superheros and spaghetti hoops. He discovers an envelope that he is not allowed to open until he is 16. He opens it anyway to find his real name is ACE and his real mum is called ROSE. It was a great book but boring at times.

This book is amazing there's some funny moments and some sad moments and in the end, it's awesome. Just call me spaghetti-hoop boy is such a heart-warming story and well and truly life-like. It has a wonderful range of humour and sadness; this book also shows children how it feels to be adopted and how much your family cares for you. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like superheroes and rate it 4/5.

It is a fantastic book that I enjoyed from beginning to end. It was a heart warming story that had happy bits and sad bits. The sad bits really were sad and made me a little bit emotional. This book really makes the phrase don't judge a book by its cover count. At first I thought this is going to be one of those books that I have to read but it really wasn't.

From beginning to end, I have totally enjoyed reading this book! I have probably loved all the books I have read so far in the Leeds book awards 9-11 shortlist!

I wanted to read it because the weird title made me want to find out what it was about! A boy named Adam Butters who was adopted, found his birth certificate and realized what his real identity was and as he tried to investigate more he noticed family and friends were also keeping secrets… I rate the tale a 5 out of 5!

I found this book took a while for the story to get more interesting and in my opinion it was better near the end. My favourite part of the story was when Adam finds out about his real family because it heartwarming that he discovers the truth.

I would recommend this book to children age 8 and above but to mostly people who are interested in superheros.

I didn't quite follow the story line but the description was alright. The beginning was my least favourite part as I found boring. It took quite a while for the story to get more interesting. However, in my opinion, the end was much better.

This book was ok but not the best I have read. It is worth reading if you like superheroes and action. This book is most suited to children aged 8+.

It was a beautiful book. 📚 I really enjoyed reading it, it was captivating and moving. I loved how it had a great storyline that seemed like it could happen to anyone! This book was full of different emotions, yet the author didn't miss out the comedy!😜😜

The book was very exciting as Adam(the main character) tries to find his birth mum and his mum who adopted him has a bump and he gets confused with a younger brother and thinks he is getting sent to a orphanage. However, in the end he finds the answer....

I would recommend this book to many people.

I give it 4/5 because it has a bit of slow start

This book is about a boy called Adam, who is trying to find his biological mum. My favourite character is Velvet because she is really funny and lives in her own imaginary world where anything can happen. Minnie was my least favourite character as she was really mean to Adam in parts of the story. I wasn't as keen on this book as it was very depressing and sad. I felt there was perhaps too much drama and not enough description, which made it difficult to create a picture in my mind about what was happening.

This book is by Lara Williamson and it is amazing.It is sad at some points and happy at others. Adam and his adoptive family are happy but Adam wants to find his birth mother but discovers a terrible thing that makes him lose all hope. He likes to hide behind his bobble hat and has two sisters and his mum and dad. I feel sorry for Adam and his best friend tiny Eric because tiny Eric has to move house and leave Adam. This book is one of the best books I've ever read and a good contender for winning the award this year or at least coming close.

This book is about a boy called Adam.He is adopted.Adam tries and tries to find his real mother throughout the whole book.Did Adam find his real mother?Adam was my favourite character because he wouldn't give up.The story kept me guessing a lot.My favourite part of the book was when Adam knew what was right.The full story gripped me.I liked it when one chapter gave me lots of information about one subject.This means that it was clearly detailed. This book kept me turning the pages.Sadly,I couldn't relate to Adam.One thing that I personally disliked was that it didn't have enough description.I would definitely recommend this book to people who like adventures.

This book was a bit of a slow starter, but in the end it is amazing! The book is about about a boy who wants to find out who he really is... I would recommend this book to anyone of my age, I would also recommend it to anyone who likes books of adventure/mystery.

This book was good and powerful but don’t be deceived by the cover because there is no mention of spaghetti hoop boy except for once but I would recommend it because it is a very good book.

I loved this book because it was so mysterious and you will never now what will happen next! It is a real page turner and it makes me want to read on more. I relate to Adam because i want to find out things when I'm not meant to. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes mystery books.

Its full of suprises. I love the bit where adam finds he is adopted and his real name is ace. Its awesome❤❤💞💞💖💖

I loved this book so much. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who loves superheroes. My favourite character is Adam because I love that he was determined to find his mother. I would definitely read it again. I am glad it had a happy ending. The title was very intriguing and just remember we are all superheroes.

I loved this book, (which I have finished) it was full of comedy but it was also quite sad which is a nice touch. Adam (Ace) thinks he is destined to be a superhero he even saved a life. That's all I will tell you. Remember you don't have to be super to be a hero!

It was not as good as I thought it would of been. It would have been better if Adem actually turned into a super hero called spaghetti hoop boy.

I really enjoyed Just call me spaghetti hoop boy because the way Adam tries to find his real mother and tries to be a superhero to make his adoptive mum happy. Though there are sad parts like when Adam finds out he was left by some bins by a pool and when tiny Eric (his best friend) moves away.

THERE IS THIS BOY CALLED Adam Butters he is adopted and his real name is Ace walker.But when he thinks his parents dont want him any more he decides to find his real mum. It takes a painful discovery for Adam to realise that you do not need to be a super hero.His real mums name was Rose Walker.

This book is incredible.It is a bit sad but mostly happy and it shows how to have a good friendship.

This book griped me from page 1

I recomend this book to people who like very descriptive books as this book is filled with description. Overall,this book is what you call a slow burner but nearing to the end,its really emotional and it made me cry. Im giving it a medium review because it has way too much description for me and it takes a while to get into the the reading vibe. The main character is a boy called Adam.He is fairly nosy and likes spaghetti-hoops. Unfortunaly,I cant relate to him as im not nearly as nosy as him and I dont like spaghetti or spaghetti-hoops.

I Did enjoy this book very much. It's about a boy called Adam to finds out he's adopted i love the beginning because it I really funny.

this book is interesting as it does not really grip you near the beginning but has quite a bit of an unequal balance of sad and happy moments mainly around three quarters of the way through with it mainly being sad but all and all I do believe you could of had a bit more description about Minnie and velvet.

but all that aside I do think this book could of been better with more information about the characters apart from Adam as his background was explained rather well for this book. well done Lara

this book was about a boy called Adam and he had a family that lived in a flat. Adam was adopted and throughout the book he wanted to find his real mother. I liked this book because it wasn't to waffaly about things. I did not like that the book was not that descriptive so you couldn't get a proper picture in your mind. I could relate to Adam because I like to sort things out and that is what Adam does. The story was straight to the point so you would wonder what was going to happen next. The story made me laugh because in every paragraph there was a giggle moment. I suggest you buy this book because it was amazing.

It was very boring and sad because he was an orphan and didn't live with his real parents it was really sad when he had to learn about his family

This book was full of surprises one of the surprises for me was to know he was adopted and Adam wasn't his real name Ace was. Every night I would read the book and I finished it just in 5 days

I like the book!I like how the boy in the story try’s to become a super hero and he does good to find out who is real mother is.

This book is about a 12 year old boy called Adam Butters who is an adopted boy who loves superheroes. When he reads an envelope which he isn't meant to until he's 16 he finds out his real mother is called Rose Walker and he is really called Ace. So then he wants to become a superhero and find his Mum. It is quite a sad story which is covered by bad jokes. It does have a moral - it doesn't matter who you are; you are still super. I rate this book 2 out of 5 because it was a bit depressing

This book was really good and sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover. At the beginning,when I picked up this book,this book didn't really appeal to me until I read the blurb and my mind had totally changed! I would really recommend this book to people who like funny genres.At times it is a very deep book.There is only one word to describe this book.Amazing!

I really enjoyed reading this book because at first it was very heart warming. My best part is when the child went to the comic co and when the zorbitans ear came off. So I would recommend this book to children.

This was a heartwarming,hilarious book full of surprises that just shows family is the most important thing in the world! My favourite character is Adam as he is full of determination and showed great perseverance.This book was very gripping,I loved it. I thought the best bit was that the book comes with a moral "you don't need to be super nor to have a cape to be a hero".

Book Review: Just Call me Spaghetti-Hoop Boy by Lara Williamson

Just Call me spaghetti-Hoop boy by Lara Williamson is a page turner, which caught my eye and I could not put the book down. It is all about a boy called Adam Butler, who loves spaghetti hoops and he wants to be a superhero. All through the book he and tiny Eric, who is very good at drawing, are trying to find Rose Walker, Adam's real mum. Reading the book I felt happy and sad, as well as, nervous and excited, as I hoped that Adam would find Rose. I definitely would rate this 5 stars and I would recommend this to children aged 8 and over.

This book was very gradual and dull, the content was okay but when I continued to read, I was quiet engrossed by the plot line. Although, I give some respect to the author because it had humor in it. I would deeply recommend this book this to admirers of super hero's.

I love this book it has a bit of a slow start but later on in the story I became very engrossed. My favourite character is velvet because she is so funny. I recommend this book to anyone who likes unpredictable stories. I give this book a 4 out of 5 rating.

Adam Butters is an ordinary 11 year old boy who wishes to be a superhero. It's no secret that he has been adopted, but when he hears strange conversations around the house and believes he is not wanted, Adam sets out to find his birth mother. He tries to prove to the world that he is a hero, however, not all heroes have to be 'super'.

Although I enjoyed this book, I found Adam to be rather naive. He often misinterpreted or misunderstood things that people said, and this landed him in deep water. The book starts out simply, but gets eventually becomes dark and serious, which was interesting, if not a little random.

Just Call Me Spaghetti Hoop Boy was a very moving story.It was definitely funny but without the humor it would just be a very sad story.It is really interesting how whilst the main character is trying to sort out his problems people are having there own.Somehow they make everything alright in the end.It is really worth reading.

Just Call Me Spaghetti Hoop Boy is a fantastic story for everybody to read! I enjoyed it because it was hilarious and touching at the same time! I wanted to read it because the weird title made me want to find out what it was about! A boy named Adam Butters who was adopted, found his birth certificate and realized what his real identity was and as he tried to investigate more, he noticed family and friends were also keeping secrets… I rate the tale a 5 out of 5!

I didn't particularly enjoy this book. Some parts could be a bit funny but I just didn't really get into the book. I hope the author keeps trying to write books, I just didn't really like it.

I would recommend it to a 7 to 12 aged child and definitely someone who likes spaghetti hoops!!!!!

Just call me spaghetti hoop boy was a great book, i would recommend it to 7 13 year olds . It would be better if it had pictures in it . I feel sorry for Adam ( or Ace ) because he was adopted but i don't get why he doesn't like spaghetti hoops at the end.

I enjoyed this novel: it was humorous and simple in it's grammatical features-yet this may be a drawback, as it was hardly pretentious; and had a lack of contractions. Personally, I found it dull, and the novel did not arouse much interest or curiosity to the reader until quite late in the plot-line. I wish there were more sophisticated grammar and complexity to the sentences. Nevertheless, I would recommend the novel to fans of mystery,humour, and excitement.

I thought the book was allright but there wasn't many main events and I couldn't really get into it. The main character Adam is quiet at school a bit like me!

I think this book would appeal to children who are interested in superheros and family stories.

I thought this was an outstanding book,and I hope that other kids will enjoy it too. It includes: Friendship, perseverance,acts of kindness and much more!

It is about an 11 year old boy whose adopted name is Adam, but his real name is Ace. Adam lives with his adopted mum,dad and two sisters in a small flat in Pegasus Park.All his life he had no idea who is real mum was or where she was. There is an envelope telling Adam all the information he needs to know,but he is not allowed to open it until he is 16. Can Adam fight his curiosity?

I would give this book a booming big 5 out of 5.

I really enjoyed this book as it had everything: comedy, emotion, action and relationships. I think Adam is amazing and the message of the story inspires everyone to be kind, caring and superhero-y.
