sThis book is a really funny novel. It has a very funny sense of humor. This book shows the life of "nerd" or "weirdos." It shows how they survive through the terrible life of being in middle school. Bobby, Addie, Skeezie and Jodan are best friends.
This book starts out when Bobby, the main character, works in an untouched clothing department. He is only twelve years old and helps his father out with their financial problems. He goes to school and finds all his friends. Bobby speaks of all the different names people call him, including "Fluff."
On one day, in math class, the whole class had to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Addie refused because she doesn't want to be controlled. and she thinks that the dictionary is sexist. I really enjoyed that part because when the teacher asked her why she wasn't standing up, she explained why and asked the whole class what does pledge mean. Some kid said, "Furniture Polish!!!!" It was very funny!!
I would've never thought of that! Would you?!?!
Another part that I've enjoyed is when the children go to their lockers, and find a word on one of their lockers. It was misspelled. The weirdest part about that was Bobby (I think) didn't give a good comeback. He just called them numbskulls.
Finally, one of the most funniest, but racist, things that Addie has ever said was, "Have you ever seen whats happening in the unfair metropolis of New York? You cannot be a black man and walk down the streets of that city without the word 'guilty' stamped on your forehead!!!
I really love this book. It is funny, interesting and awesome!
