Leon and the Champion Chip


I’ve recently finished a book entitled, “Leon and the Champion Chip,” the sequel to “Leon and the Spitting Image.” This book was also written by Allen Kurtzweil. This book is about how Leon enters a chip competition and he has to know facts about chips and recognize brands of chips by seeing, smelling, and tasting the chip. In the chip competition, Leon has to compete against two strong opponents who have both won in the previous years of the competition. Leon is entering this competition to earn the $1000 first place reward to buy a $159 jacket. In addition to the chip competition, there is a cool science teacher that has planned the whole school year on the topic, chips, a big bully named Lumpkin who causes a lot of trouble, a spitting image that creates a lot of fun, a Science Fair to prove the science teacher is a good teacher, a taxi driver named Napoleon who gives Leon free rides from his house to his school, a chip collection which includes chips that have never been heard of, and much more! This is a really exciting book that you can’t put down once you start. The most exciting part of this book is when the final three competitors compete against each other. I was so eager to see who was going to win. Allen Kurtzweil is a good author, however, he has only written two children’s books (the two Leon series books) and a numerous number of adult books. The adult books don’t seem as good as the children’s books to me, but maybe that just me.
