Title:  Rem World
Author:  Rodman Philbrick
Reviewer:   Anna F.-M.'10
I read REM World by Rodman Philbrick.  It is a book about a boy named Arthur Woodbury, a.k.a. "biscuit butt".  He really wants to loose weight so that the kids at school won't make fun of him so much.  Arthur purchases the REM sleep device with which he is able to loose weight while he sleeps. Unfortunately, Arthur doesn't quite read the directions properly and leaves his REM sleep device helmet in his basement causing him to be in two places at once, which everyone knows is impossible.  Now Arthur Woodbury has unleashed the nothing (a force that will destroy the universe) by creating a crack in the universe through which the nothing is seeping.  Arthur is now trapped in REM world and has to find his way home and save the universe before it's too late.  If you don't read this super exciting, terrifying, mystifying, wonderful book you will be missing out on one of the best books of a lifetime.
