Soaked
by A.J. Cosmo
ROOM WITH BOOKS encourages our readers to follow the tour and comment.
What a way to start summer… I should have never stood up to that bully Jacob. It was just a water balloon thrown to save my friend’s behind during recess. Now we’re on a bus heading home and everyone gets the same text: “$500 gift card and full immunity to the kid that brings me Aiden- Jacob.” I’m Aiden by the way, and the entire fourth grade is staring at me. Hopefully, with my friend’s help, we can get off at the next stop, three miles from my house, and make it home before the entire neighborhood finds us.
Soaked is the first middle-grade novel by author/illustrator A.J. Cosmo. Filled with humor and suspense, this surprising page turner is a tale of friendship, courage, and standing up for what’s right. For 3rd-5th grade readers.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of Soaked from A.J. Cosmo in exchange for an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Once in a great while an author comes along that can write a story that kids can relate to, and A.J. Cosmo certainly has with his book, Soaked.
What in the world would make Aiden throw a water balloon at Jacob? Friendship, of course. This young character in Soaked shows a great deal of character in standing up to the school bully in an effort to save his friend, Ben, from a certain soaking. Life then takes a great deal of twists and turns on the last day of school for Aiden, Ethan and Ben as they do their best to avoid a confrontation with the school bully and his thugs.
Mr. Cosmo has a great sense of humor and wonderful insight into the world of bullying that shines through in Soaked. My grand-daughter and I are going to enjoy this last summer before she starts school reading through his numerous other children’s books and I can’t wait to find out what his writing has in store!
This is a wonderful book that should be on every school library shelf and in each teacher’s private collection! Thank you, Mr. Cosmo, for this wonderfully written book about friendship, loyalty and what might be making the school bully tick!
I highly recommend Soaked by A.J. Cosmo and give it five (ice-cold) cups of Room With Books coffee. 😉

Great book! Thanks so much.
My grands love your books. They thought my washer or dryer ate their socks, until they read that the monster did. You are very talented. Must be a kid at heart.
