Albie really wants to be good at something, but it’s hard. School isn’t making it any easier. His parents and his grandfather sure don’t make it any easier. Changing schools and not being with old friends might not have been the best solution. It’s tough to navigate classmates and figure out what’s cool and what isn’t in a new school. Or who the bullies are… and when you might find out… and who your real friends really are.

This is a really good book because the setting is wonderful. Also Albie is a really nice book. This book is really going to make your mouth water, it talks about donuts. This book tells you about his life and his struggles. Albie is a nice boy but he cant really do spelling. His parents and grandfather sure don't make it easier or school. He's changing schools so he's not going be seeing he's friends anymore. You should read this book it has a little twist to it.

ReplyDeleteThis Book is really cool! It is cool b/c it reminds me about my life b/c we both like&dislike about things. Plus the book has every thing a book would need it has Friendship's,Jokes and Art. Ablie is also having a hard time with making friends and is now getting confused with who is his friend and who is his enemy's.
