eh- this was ok. I was hoping for more of a mystery, rather than a bunch of kids destroying and running rampant thru the town's mansion. This is similar to Mr Lemoncello's Library- but that story was better. I liked the different narrative voices, but had a hard time staying interested.
I usually dont like mysteries but this one I like
I enjoyed this story told from multiple points of view as a group of 5th graders get stranded in a crazy mansion full of secrets when their field trip is snowed in.
Copy provided by the publisherWhen the fifth graders of Liberty Falls Elementary School take there annual trip to Mink's Mystery Mansion, the children who go have their own agendas in mind. Aaron has just changed schools again, and hopes to be able to make new friends. With his father in the military, he should be used to change, but it's still hard.

Field Tripped by Allan Woodrow, 272 pages. Scholastic, 2018. $17.Content: GBUYING ADVISORY: EL – NOT RECOMMENDEDAUDIENCE APPEAL: LOWThe 5thgrade students of Liberty Falls elementary are headed off on their field trip to the home of Edward Minks – the eccentric, and rich, benefactor and founder of the town. Something seems to be wrong at the mansion, though – it looks like someone has been stealing the inventions. Is the caretaker the guilty one? Eddie doesn’t care. He’s the grandson of Mr. Minks...
This author seems poised to give Andrew Clements a run for the money when it comes to writing school stories. I loved his earlier The Pet War and Class Dismissed, and enjoyed this one as well. His characters may sometimes be quirky and some of their situations may be a bit unusual, but he clearly knows his way around the fifth grade and its many different personalities. In this particular book, the fifth graders of Liberty Falls Elementary are on a field trip to the Minks Mystery Mansion where t...
My ten-year-old son began reading this book in school as his selection for "silent reading time." He enjoyed it so much, he wanted to own his copy, and together we read the book night-after-night at bedtime. Right there, I'm sold. My son is an avid reader, but anytime a child gets excited by a book, I'm onboard! The story was fun, some of the adult characters were at times quirky, and the students were believable and realistic. The structure of having each chapter told from a different child's p...
This story combines the fantasy, mystery, and adventure genres. It is about Aaron who is attending a new elementary school. When his class goes on a two-day field trip to the Minks Mystery Mansion, things get weird—there are disappearances, secret passages, a map, and a mysterious room. Along the way, Aaron makes friends with Eddie who is a Minks descendant and together they deal with the class bully. Although the story starts off a little bit slow, it is worth reading because the story graduall...
This book was filled with annoying characters and terrible puns. I disliked Chloe because she always let Sophie walk all over her and wouldn't stand up for herself.I disliked Aaron.I disliked Jessie because she was WAY too cat obsessed. I like cats as much as the next person, but saying stuff like my cats are brave so I should be too and if I were a cat I'd land on my feet (or something like that) just hot annoying.I disliked Eddie because he was arrogant and annoying. No wonder nobody wanted to...
This was a nice book. Fun. Definitely has a hint of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library to it. Also had some lessons in it - standing up for yourself, standing up for your friends, following authority, taking a stand against bullies. I think it is one kids will like more than I did, and I guess that is the point.
Fun book, good characters. A good look at the occasional perils of "friendship"
Read this as a read aloud with my 4th graders. They LOVED it, as did I!
“I have a bad feeling about this trip. There’s a creepy man with the hedge clippers, there are dark skies above us, and I heard a kid got lost in the mansion last year and they never found him.”Aaron - new student, Dad in the military, “Serve. Protect. Be All You Can Be.”Jessie - catsEddie - great, great, great grandfather of Mr. Edward Minks IV “Legend of Liberty Falls” Innovator of Inventions, left nothing to his family but believed in “profiting the world” - “I’m not here to learn. I’m here t...
I really wanted Sophie to change in the end or at least admit why she was so mean all the time. Her part of the story felt unfinished. The rest of the story was good, although several parts were reminiscent of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie from the 70s. Easy and quick read, though.
fun story. Not my favorite, got a little long
Field trippedA couple of weeks ago I finished the book field tripped. The book was about a 5th grade class going to minks mystery mansion. While they are on the field trip the tour guide said when they walked in that there might be a secret invention somewhere in the mansion. One person found a room that had a plan to steal secret inventions when someone finds them and then sell them for a lot of money. The class sets a big trap and learns the whole story when they catch the tour guide using the...
I love this book so much, and that's all I can say. It's a great story, and I recommend this to any reader ages 9-12.
