‘Mac Slater, Cool Hunter: The Rules of Cool’ by Tristan Bancks

Have you ever thought of flying a bike? Have you ever wanted to write blogs for people? Also, if you like books that you can’t stop reading and this sounds like you then you will like this book.

Cool Hunters is a website for people to see what is up all over the world. Bloggers all over the world post blogs every day to show what is cool in their town or country. Mac Slater, a young inventor, was asked to upload blogs for this website, which involves some competition with another girl trying to do the same thing at the same time. Tension is building through the story, who will win?

I really liked this book because the competition in the book is good as well as the different types of people and different personality for each of the characters. Mac is a good main character who tries and tries until he gets it right. The suspense of if he wins or if he doesn’t every day gets better and better as the book goes on. Every day there is a new winner and a new loser.

I recommend this book to teens and young people between the ages of 12-16 because the age of the kids in the book is the same age as the people that would read this. This book is one of the best books I have ever read and I hope it would be one of yours. Lachlan, Year 9. 

———————————————–

I didn’t find this novel titled “Cool hunters” very entertaining. In fact it was quite an easy read and very boring. The way the story played out was extremely easy to see coming. Nothing came as a surprise. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone.

This book is about a boy named Mac. He comes from a poor family. Also he isn’t the smartest cookie in the jar. His role in this 1st person story is just an average loser at school. He and his friend are always trying to prove themselves to the community. This book would be a 1 star out of 5.

Mac Slater, Cool Hunter by Tristan Bancks is a good book about two boys and their adventures inventing cool things for the modern crowd and doing crazy stuff that’s considered cool. A lot of things go wrong with the boys and their crazy ideas. The book also deals with the themes of friendships, bullying and being cool! This book is based in Kingscliff in Kings Bay. It is a great book for teenagers, especially boys, because it is crazy and out there and they also do really cool stuff. It is worth a read and you will enjoy it. The main characters are Mac and Paul and also the evil cold-blooded worst enemy Cat Devrees who is always trying to take their spot and bring them down!
