“Go Big or Go Home,” by Will Hobbs

“Go Big or Go Home,” by Will Hobbs is a rather ludicrous science fiction novel for young readers.

The story begins when a meteorite smashes through the roof of Brady Steele's house. Brady and his cousin Quinn are shocked and excited by this amazing event. Soon they discover that there meteorite is one of the rarest of all kinds. But all too soon the boys lose the meteorite to the Carver boys, two young rivals notorious for their underhanded tricks.

Brady and Quinn use their time bicycling, fishing, caving, and battling the Carvers for possession of the meteorite, but everything changes when Brady discovers that he can do things that he could never do before. Not only is he stronger but he has more stamina and speed that anyone should. The strange thing is, it appears to have something to do with the meteorite. Brady enjoys his new powers until they begin to take a deadly turn...

“Go Big or Go Home” is not exactly a literary masterpiece. The plot is almost ridiculous, like something out of a bad comic. But younger readers are sure to thrill over the crazy stunts, surprising turns, and silly humor that “Go Big or Go Home” has to offer. Personally, I enjoyed reading Will Hobbs historical adventures much more than this junior fiction novel. However, its obvious that Will Hobbs is trying to expand his reader base by writing for a broader audience.

To summarize, “Go Big or Go Home” is a book that may be enjoyed by readers in the young tween group, but its nothing special to an older audience.
