Hey, what do you think of the book? I think that it's pretty darn good. Do you think that the book will end up that he will find his father again and find Deza again? I think so. What do you think Billy? I think it would be interesting if Bud lost his suitcase and then he had to go back to find it. That would be very interesting. Then it would be cool if Deza found it and then Bud would ask her out. I enjoy the way the author has the characters interacting and meeting once again after a long period of time. Do you agree Billy? I think the coolest part of the book will always be when he gets a pencil stuck up his nose, all the way up to the r in Ticonderoga. I think Todd is a very mean boy and should go to the home and live there forever because he is so mean. Or Todd can go live with the vampire bats in the shed. Deza is in love with Bud and Bud is in love with Deza. Do you agree with me on that one Billy? I think that dude is annyoung the on e that keeps callin him Bud-not-Buddy. That is getting very innoying. Don't you aree with me Billy?

Hi! I want to thank you for your great comments yesterday! MOST of them were thoughtful and interesting.
I just have to remind a few of you of one thing. It's never OK to make rude comments to another student on this message board. Everyone has a right to be treated with respect. Everyone's point of view matters. Most of you know this.
It's kind of a waste of time to write rude things anyway; our webmaster will just delete rude remarks as soon as she sees them. We don't need that stuff cluttering up our brilliant message board!
Anyway, sorry to sound bossy. Like I said, most of you know the rules. So, let's move forward with our discusion of this great book!

From:
Raoul
To: Everyone
Wow—Carmen means business. I agree with her. Be nice!
OK. On with the discussion. Michael and Maria—I agree with you. Lefty and his family are really special people. Reaching out to a stranger like they did can be a risk, but the risk is worth it if you're helping out a nice kid who just needs a break.
Let's discuss some of the challenges Bud faces in the story. How does the setting add to these challenges?

* Hi*

It is sabrina. No i do not think that Herman E. Calloway is Buds father. Do you think that he is his father? I think why he is not his father is because he is too old to be his father. Another reason why he could not be his father is because he just does not seem nice anough. I think Bud feels really good.

I don't think Herman E. Calloway is Bud's father because is always rude to Bud. Herman doesn't like Bud in his big house because he doesn't want Bud stealing anything in the dead little girl's old room. Bud thinks that he doesn't have any time to talk to Herman E. Calloway.
Please write me back!

Yes I think that it was very nice of Bud's pretend family to let him sleep there and give him some food to eat for breakfast.Do you think that Herman E. Calloway is Bud's father? I don't think that he is Bud's Father. I think that he is someone else that is related to him. What do you think? What do you think that Bud is saying when he says he is carrying his mother inside of him? I think that he is carrying her in his heart and trying to remember all of the things she did with him. Do you have snow there? We have a lot!
