⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 Stars on Amazon.com
An award-winning book filled with laugh-out-loud adventures, Berticus follows Gilbert “Berticus” Icusberwitz as he navigates the chaos of fifth grade. His wild imagination and unstoppable energy makes school an adventure—whether he’s running for class president, inventing a “super-secret club”, or dealing with the legendary bully Crazy Bobby Bigglia.
Perfect for 4th–8th grade readers, this book offers humor, heart, and relatable challenges that resonate with kids who struggle to stay focused in school. As Kirkus Reviews notes, “Berticus’ narration makes his typically zany plans seem perfectly reasonable…a rollicking and endearing story.”
Teachers, parents, and tutors will love how Brian Silbert captures authentic ‘kid-logic’ while weaving in moments of growth. IndieReader praises his ability to “successfully channel the frenetic mind of an easily distracted eleven-year-old boy.” Berticus wants to pay attention—but his mind has other plans.
Perfect for Reluctant Readers
Berticus’ episodic storytelling makes it ideal for kids with ADHD or reluctant readers—each chapter stands alone as its own engaging, fast-paced adventure. The short, digestible format keeps readers moving forward without getting overwhelmed, helping them build confidence in reading while staying entertained.
