It's about a kid named Homer Aldrich Winthrop (tongueful) and his move to a bay village in Maine (He travels with his mother Dr.Winthrop and housekeeper Madeline). He's father is deceased and his mother does not give much info about him other than he was a neurologist and died from a neurological disease. He meets Roger Sweeney who drags him into a a crazy adventure about finding the truth about an "old guy" (who is really a young one in disguise). His mother somehow know this Fake Man and he wants to know how. Through a series of events he finds out Fake Man is 40s year old artist Owen something who was Homer's father's best friend. They were both artists until Homer (the kid is Homer Jr BTW) quit and became a doctor. He then met Homer's mother and Homer Jr was conceived. Then He got the disease. As he was slowly dying, Owen convinced him to take up artisting again. And he did. Until the disease got worst and he became frustrated with how his hands shook and he couldn't paint/sculpt/draw as well anymore. He then took his life unlike dying from a disease Homer's mother told him. The truth comes out and relationships are somewhat mended.

Following Fake Man Sly and mysterious, the realistic fiction book Following Fake Man, by Barbara Ware Holmes, describes Homer Withdrop's vacation to Maine turns into a mystery of following Fake Man, and finding out how he was connected to his father. Homer's father died when he was just a child, but he doesn't know much about him because his mom never talks about him. Homer, Madeline, and his Mom took a trip to Maine to a house that Homer never knew that they owned. While in Maine, Homer made a friend named Roger. Roger was working on a mystery to see what was up with a man in a disguise that they called, "Fake Man." Homer never realized that he would become very dedicated to the mystery until he realized that Fake Man knew his mother, and was somehow connected to his father. So Homer took a boat to Owl Island to follow Fake Man to solve this mystery for good. To find out how it ends, you'll have to read the book. But is this book actually appropriate for a middle school reading level? Following Fake Man, is a good mystery book, however, I don't think that it is good for a middle school reading level. I feel that this book would be good for a fourth or fifth grader to read. Sometimes the writing was confusing, like when it said, "So my mother forgave me. Homer's forgave him. His mother forgave me. Mine forgave him." I had to read that over a couple of times until I finally understood it. The overall writing was very basic, and the grammar lacked effort. Another reason why I think that this is not a good book for a middle school reading level is because there aren't many challenging words. I only had trouble with two. Also, this book got very childish at times. For example, sometimes there would be sections that would have drawings of cartoons with speech bubbles. Which reminds me of my little brother's books who is in fourth grade. Some people might say that you get a great understanding of what is going on because it shows you each character's point of view. On the other hand, I thought that it was a bit confusing because it was hard to keep track of all their perspectives. Others might say that a two-hundred-thirty page book is too big for a fourth grader, but the chapters are very short, and there are several cartoon sections that take up a couple of pages each. People could also say that it would be too challenging for a fourth grader to read. But if a fourth grader is reading a challenging book, and a seventh grader is reading a book that is too easy, the book would be better for a fourth grader to read because it is better to challenge yourself and become a better reader instead of reading a book that is below your reading level. Overall, this book was a good mystery, but was definitely not a good book for a middle school student. It has a very weak vocabulary, and could be very childish at times. If you're looking for a challenge, this wouldn't be the book that you want to read.
