Marley Sandelski is a kid who does not have any friends and gets bullied alot. He is in 7th grade and gets bullied by a group he calls the gorn. In school he gets into AV club.Later in the book he quit AV club and signs up for running.After 2 days he quits running.I liked this book because it was realistic.
i think this book is really interesting.
Would you be willing to tell us why? Are you a Star Wars or Star Trek fan?– Kate Davie
Warp speed is a interesting book about bullying and feeling invisible.
I like it cause I think it teaches you that you don’t have to dress cool to be cool and its a story about bullying.
I like the book so far because it has people who like star wars and star track and batman
I love the book,setting, and how it ended.
What was it about the setting that made you like it? — Kate Davie
I really liked this book until the end when he wants to be popular. I don’t get why he didn’t just be friends with Max and Ramen!
This book is awsome i love this book theres alot of mystery and surprises!!!
Right now i’m wondering why marely always gets bullied
I loved this book!
Warp Speed is a Star Trek reference. The main character, Marley is a really big Star Trek fan. Warp Speed could also refer to Marley special talent…that I will not give away! … you’ll have to read the book to figure out how Marley has “warp speed”.
It’s definitely not used a lot but the words “warp speed” do appear on page 50
Well spotted, Geodback! It does seem to be a kind of minor reference though. Do you have any thoughts on why Ms. Yee chose it for the title? — Kate Davie
I read the book, and still, the word warp speed never appears? I wonder why?
That’s a good question! I haven’t read this one yet, so I can’t begin to answer it, but maybe someone out there in DCF world will be willing to tackle it with us. — Kate Davie
This book looks majorly cool! i wanna read it. it seems interesting. i bet i could relate to it.
I bet you’re right! — Kate Davie
