From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up–Luther's mother, "the Sarge," runs an empire of Flint, MI, slums and halfway houses, and has a loan-sharking business. At age 15, Luther manages one of her halfway houses, drives the residents around in a van with an illegal license, and readies the homes of evicted tenants for the Sarge's next desperate victims. In exchange, she puts his earnings in a college fund, threatens him into submission, and primes him to take over the business. All Luther wants to do is win the school science fair, think deep thoughts, find some action for the vintage condom in his wallet, and do something honest with his life. Curtis tells the teen's story with his usual combination of goofy humor, tongue-in-cheek corniness, and honest emotion. Accordingly, Luther narrates the absurd, embarrassing details of his life with both adult sensitivity and teen crassness. The dialogue between Luther and Sparky, his "womb to tomb" best friend, is at turns hilarious and touching. The Sarge herself is so convincingly sharp-tongued, shrewd, and despicable that she's the novel's juiciest character. The plot unfolds slowly at first, and teens may lose patience with Luther's tendency to feel sorry for himself. However, once his confidence begins to build, the story keeps a quickening pace with his character arc. His final revenge on the Sarge is so deftly constructed and the novel's resolution so satisfying that it makes up for the occasional lag in the lead-up. Any teen who's ever wanted to stick it to the man (or woman) will love this story.–Johanna Lewis, New York Public Library

From AudioFile

Luther T. Farrell's wallet is packed with cash, credit cards, and a fake driver's license, but it all comes at a heavy price. The 15-year-old is a slave to his mother's (the Sarge) slum rental and group home empire. Dealing with this ruthless businesswoman and single-handedly running a group home, Luther works to break free. Michael Boatman is a stellar match for this excellent YA novel. He makes Luther likable, the men in the group home lovable, and the Sarge a fascinating and chilling character study. Boatman's rich narration fluctuates from hip to crotchety to cruel with true feeling. This gem will stay in listeners' hearts long after the last track is played.

This review is from: Bucking the Sarge (Hardcover)
I think you will like this book. I did! It is about Luther who tries to win a science share so he will be on track for college. He wants to be a philosopher. More importantly, he wants to go to college to escape from the "Sarge" who is his mean mom. The main characters in the book are Sparky, Luther's best friend; Luther, the son of the Sarge, and the Sarge who makes Luther do all the work around the house. Luther does not get paid much! I think readers of the book should be 12 and up. This book is for people who like exciting books with funny parts and great characters. Overall it is a great book but you have to read it slowly to understand all the details and some of the conversation is hard to follow.

This review is from: Bucking the Sarge (Hardcover)
Bucking The Sarge is a book for kids ages 10-15 who like humorous-adventure stories.

Luther T. Farrell and his best friend Sparky were born in Flint, Michigan. Luther's mother, AKA The Sarge, says "Take my advice and stay off the sucker path." The Sarge made a retirement home that Luther and Sparky call "The Sarge's Evil Empire", that Luther works at. Luther is just one person in the Sarge's Evil Empire and he's going to get away from all that. Luther has always wanted to be a philosopher but to do that he has to win this year's science fair. If he wins, he will be able to go to college and become one of America's best-known philosophers. But to do this he has to beat his archrival and the love of Luther's life, Shayla Patrick.

Sparky will escape using a pit bull and the world's ugliest rat. To hold them back there is Luther's mysterious roommate, Chester X, Dontay Gaddy whose toll-free number is 1-800-SUE-EM-ALL. Darnell Dixon, the Sarge's go-to guy. Darnell knows how to break all the rules.

Bucking The Sarge is a story that only Christopher Paul Curtis could tell because it is so humorous. The readers of the book will cheer for Luther and Sparky the whole way through.
