I really liked The Schwa was Here because it was really interesting.My favorite part is when Ansty push Manny in front of a train. I was so happy when The Schwa found his mom.The part that i hated the most was when The Schwa spent his college funds on the billboard.I liked how they did The Schwa Effects on him. my favorite one was when he had to stick his nose right into the principal's face.

I've heard allot about about this book and it seems like a good book to read. I'd have read this book after The London Eye Mystery if it were my choice.

This book was very good I never thought it was going to be this interesting. I also agree that it was horrible that he spent his college funds on the billboard. Other than that it an interesting book.

I really liked this book more than I thought Iwould.My favorite part was when the Schwa found his mom and wrote the letter to Antsy.What I didn't like was that the Schwa spent his money on the billboard .
