I really liked this book. It was exciting and fun to read. If you like this book, try to get the sequel, Phineas L. MacGuire...Gets Slimed! Jacob C.

I totally agree with Jacob. This book was very exciting. Whenever I finished a chapter, I wanted to keep on reading! I'll take Jacob's advice and read the sequel. It was by far the best quick read I have read so far this year. The best part of this book was when Mac showed his class Ben's(Mac C)drawings. They were really amazing.

I thought the book was a little boring because you could predict the ending of the book.Also,it was not very exciting. If you read the back of the book, it tells way too much of the story.
A nice read, I liked it a lot.

his best friend moving away, he feels like his lifeis crumbling away from him untill he, the scince fair, and mac get aqanted.
This book is awesome! Other people, (including me), can relate to some of the people in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone!
I loved this book so much,I would buy it.When Mac R came to school,Mac was upset that Mac R was in his class.I wish there was a series of these books.

I think Phineas L. Maguire Erupts is a good book because it`s about a boy who meets someone who is very mean to everyone.He thinks
he is the smartest person ever.The teacher partners them up for the science fair. See what happens.

I like this book because Mac R can make vocanoes and it is interesting that you can make a volcano as a science fair project.
I think tis book is awsome. The book is about Mac and Ben R. And ben R. forgot to get the vinegar out of his house. So Aretha had some lemon juice under her experiment because she always brings extra stuff just because if people forget things.

This is a awesome book. It is cool and different.It's different because lemon juice probably won't make a volcano erupt.
