Matty was such an energetic and amusing kid. His obsession with glue made me smile, especially once I realized he was going to ignore all of his teacher’s warnings about using too much of it in his art project. I looked forward to finding out what would happen to this character once he crossed the line and truly used more glue than anyone could possibly need for such a purpose. Based on his stubborn and curious personality, it was only a matter of time before this happened.

The ending felt a little anticlimactic after everything that had happened to the main character earlier on in his day. I would have liked to see that energy carried through to the final scene. The beginning and middle were so exciting and entertaining that I would have given this a much higher rating if I’d felt the way about how everything was wrapped up.

Everyone in Matty’s class had unique reactions to his plight after he accidentally stuck himself to his own desk at school. I enjoyed seeing all of the solutions they came up with to free him just as much as I did waiting to find out if any of them would work the way the kids hoped they would. There was a lot of creativity tucked into these scenes, and that made them a great deal of fun to read.

Too Much Glue should be read by craft enthusiasts of all ages.
