The main character in the story is Derek, he is telling the story of his life. In the book Derek told us:"...Chocolate Ka-Blam were usually my favorite."

Budgie is Derek's best friend but he is being really mean to him. Budgie might look a little fat because in the story Barely O'Donahue (Budgies friend) says: "You know because you are fat."

Derek's mother is Annie she always helping Derek if he is sad, scared, or even mad. When Annie is sad her eyes are puffy and a little bit red. In the book Derek wrote:" I could tell she'd been crying because her eyes were puffy and a little bit red."

Hook

It was a rainy day and the bus was late so was Budgie.Budgie usually is not late because his dad drove a big, silver spy car. On rainy days like this he'd let Derek and Budgie sit in the back until the bus came. Then a car came to him and it was Budgie's mom with Budgie. "What are you doing in the rain Derek?" She asked. "I'm waiting for the bus" He answered. "It's Saturday there is no school today," Budgie's mom said.

Is Budgie going to tell everyone? What will happened?

I think the me

ssage in the story is that you need to be yourself and you don't need to care what others think about you.

Favorite part

golbandi_noya — 2015-10-27 23:43:03 UTC

my favorite part was when Derek and Budgie talked in the end of the story.I liked that part because I really wondered why Budgie was mean to Derek.In the story they replied this sentence about twice or three times. I didn't want to stop reading until I will read that part.

Cons

golbandi_noya — 2015-10-30 00:28:04 UTC

In my opinion the story smeared because in all the interesting parts the author wrote unnecessary descriptions. For example when his mom told him why she cried so much they talked a lot before she said what happened. Also Derek interrupted his aunt when she wanted to tell him why his mom is so sad.

Pros

golbandi_noya — 2015-10-30 00:28:12 UTC

I liked this book because it is very interesting. There are so many questions that will pop in your mind while you are reading, so you don't want to stop reading . When you think they are going to tell the answer to your question they won't, so you will need to keep reading.
