We'd love to talk with anybody about the book,answer any questions but at the same time not give anything away. So if you need any suggestions or are confused feel free to come to us. Our insights on the book are we thought it was really funny but there can be some serious moments. |

We liked it when the new kid said " Hi'yall." That was very funny. Another good part was when Byron helped Kenny with his lazy eye. It was nice of Byron to do that. |

I think Kenny is a very nice and smart boy. He is also very caring and kind. I think that he looks up to his brother Bryon but still thinks he's mean. So far, I like this book. It is my favorite book so far this year. |

We thought chapter two was a really good chapter. We thought this beacause it was funny when Kenny had to read in front of the class with a lazy eye. It was very funny beacause he was laughed at. Also the teacher had to turn the book upside down to make him slowdown.Do you think the new kid will be Kenny's savior?We do. |

I think it was funny when Kenny had a messed up eye. The book was good so far. I think Kenny has some funny nicknames. We have questions too. Where do you think the new kid is from? Who do you think is the weirdest Watson?

To me this book is very halrious. My favorite part is when Byron's lips stuck on the freezing mirror. I think Byron deserved it. He needs to learn how to be nicer to his brother. I couldn't believe that Byron was proud of his brother for reading. Whats your favorite part? |

Dear Andy, I think that kenny would stick up for his brother if he got into a fight. Although other students might tease Byron. What do you think other people would do to Kenny and By if it did happen??? |

I don't think that it was necessary for Byron to beat up Larry Dunn. Even though Larry did make fun of Cody and Rufus, and took Kennys gloves that does not mean that Byron has to beat him up. I think that the smart thing to do would be to confront him and tell Larry that he knew that he had taken Kenny's gloves. I think that Larry did not deserve to be beaten up. Although Larry did deserve to get in trouble from someone. Do you think Larry deserved to be beaten up? When Larry took Kenny's gloves that reminds me of when LJ took Kenny's dinosaurs. No one beat up LJ, so why should anyone beat up Larry? Maybe the only reason that Larry took the gloves is because he needed them. Taking the gloves and keeping them could have made him feel better about his self. I think that the only reason why Larry took the gloves is because he had none and he thought that other kids would make fun of him for it. Do you think so? |
