From: Billy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Jesse i like this book alot dont you
From: Tom Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Jesse I think this book is getting better and better and better every chapter. I don't feel sorry for Larry Dunn, what do you think.
From: Tom Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Billy I like this book a lot do you like it too.
From: Jesse Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Tom + Billy I thought that chapter #5 was really funny too. I liked when Byron got burned.
From: Tom Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Jenna-Zoe I think this book is funny and interesting. This book is getting better as you read father in the book
From: Billy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Peter who lives in stillwater N.J. 07860 dont ever write to stillwater. i like the book though
From: Jenna Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	Who thinks Momma Should've burnt Byrons fingers?
From: Billy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Christopher Paul Curtis i wish i could no how to talk to you
From: Jonathan G. and Danny B. Grade 7 Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: peter We disagree, we think By should not have been burnt even though he could have burnt the house down ,or burnt him self. They only put Surgeon General's warning on pack of matches "keep out of reach of children" was to show that the company that made the matches seem more responsable. So Jonathan and I deeply disagree with you. I thought that this chapter was suspenseful.
From: Tracey Grade fifth Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Peter I think you are right By should have had his fingers burnt. Like you said it all boxes of matches have the phrase KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.Maybe By disregards that and reads it different like KEEP IN REACH OF BYRON.Maybe in his mind he thinks he can outsmart any one.
From: Amy Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: anyone If your dad got a new cd player in your car would your mom be mad or would she be glad? Why?
From: Erin Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Amber I think that Byron's parents had a good idea when they wanted to send him to Alabama.I think that Byron won't be bad after that.
From: Lyndsey Grade 5th Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Lauren Hi!!Chapter 7 was so good. I don't really feel sorry for Byron because he has to live in Bimingham for a while with his Grandma. Do you? I think the record player sounds really cool.Do you? How do you think Byron feels because he has to live in Birmingham?Do you really think that they are going to leave him in Birmingham?Do you think that joey will do anything to try to save him?
From: erika Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: eric sorry I did not write to you earlier I wasnt here .we read more this week .we read to ch.8 it is funny .byron plays with matches and plays army in the toilet .now how far are you ?
From: Madison Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Anyone and Everyone What was the worst punishment that your parents, or someone else gave you? What did you do to earn that punishment?
From: kenneth Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Madison I would of buried the bird not thrown up. If you were mama would you have sent By to his gramas. I would have to get him out of my hair.
From: Cory Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Anyone Do you think that momma and dad are really going to leave Byron in Birmingham with grandma Sands? Do you think all of the things that momma and dad said about Birmingham are really true? Like when they said that momma's old neighborhood is peaceful and there are good kids.
From: jason Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: everyone What would you think about Byron going to Birmingham? What would you do if it was your brother being sent away? What would you do? If it was one of my brothers I would not mind, but if it was more than one I wouldn't like it because my life would seem boring.
From: Kurt Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Erin at Plum Point I think that Byron should go to Birmingham. He deserves it. His parents told him over and over again and he wouldn't listen. Now he gets the summer to think it over at Grandma Sands house.
From: Corey Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Amy @ Sheridan Elementary Would you like to be my descussion buddy? I feel the same way about mama trying to burn his fingers. He really did desurve it. Do you think it is a good idea that mama is sending Byron to his Grandma Sands? I think it is a good idea. He deserves it. They gave him warning after warning and they ment it. We just finished chapter eight. What chapter are you on? Who is you favorite character and why? My favorite character is Rufus because I would like to have a friend as true as him. Do you like to go to your grandmas house? I did but both of my grandmas died a couple of years ago.
From: Dave Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone Does anyone else think that it would be shocking to find out that you would be going to your grandma's who lived in the south, who was said to be very strict? I think that it would be different if you actually knew your grandma and have been to her house before.
From: Amber N Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Leslie G @ Katy TX Hi Leslie, it was nice to hear back from you well our class is on chaptar 9. I think this book is a good book it is very funny. My favorit chaptar is probley the one where By got his lips stuck to the mirorr from kissing himself. No, I have never read the book "not bud it's buddy" I don't like to read very much. please write back. bye
From: ally Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: kristin may i ask.... how old is your brother? my brothers ages are 6 almot 7 & 9 almost 10. I think chapter one is an ok chapter because, it explaes all of the people. what do you think of chapter 8. I think that is a good chapter because, the Watons got a record player.
From: Danielle Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Crystal in Houston Texas What chapter are you and your class on? are class is on chapter nine. The best part of chapter eight is that now Byron has to pay for his miskates and move with his grandmother (who is suppose to be very mean). What do you think was the best part of that chapter did you like?
From: Samantha Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: anyone I think Byron deserved what he almost got on his hand.
From: Eric Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Erika-Marshall Middle School I'm on chapter 8, I think that part was funny too. I would want a sister like Joetta because she cares about her brother and she protects him. I like when Byron's dad shave his head. Keep in touch!
From: Kelsey Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Cristopher Paul Curtis Dear Mr. Curtis, I think the book is hilarious! I especially enjoyed chapters 3-8. I hope you will send me a message.
From: LaPortia Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Angela I think it was funny when Byron was about to throw the cookie at the bird .I really like the part when Byron's mom was about to burn his hand.
From: detrick Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: krystal in youens elemetary write back I think the 3 funnist parts are when Byron hit the bird with the cookie.The second is when kenny got poped by a rotten apple. The first is when byron hit kenny hard in the ear.
From: cherrell Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: to the author Thanks for writing back to me.Chapter 7 was so funny to me.I wish that the didnt burn his fingers.I felt Joettas pain about her mother burnig Byrons fingers.Well thanks again for writing to me.P.s write back.
From: Michael and Jeremy Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Tom and Billy N chapter seven I like the part when byron threw the cookie at the bird and hit him and the bird died. Then byron grabed the bird and tossed the bird in the air and dropped it and he bent over and threw up.
From: Sammy Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Britt I like the part when Byron's dad and mom where md of his hair bad and his dad chaved his hair.
From: Luis Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Micheal What do you think about Byron's momma?Ithink she is mean. What would if you had a mom like that?I would run away.
From: Daniell Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Stephanie-Youens Elem. I would want a sister like Joetta because she wanet to know about her brother and she was even crying because he was going to get trouble.When you say go away they go away and Joetta didn't go away when Byron told her to go away.I wuold be scare to have a mom and a dad like Byrons,Kenneth,and Joetta.If my mom or dad ever did that I will be running away from them.Would you that too?Would you like to have a sister like Joetta?
From: Crystal Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: anyone I think the reason Byron dose not run away because, I think he know that when he comes back his going to be big daddy cool and stay and take the pain so he can tell all his friends and say that that stuff don't hurt him.
From: Whitney Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Erin@Petoskey,Mi I think u are right about Byron being to shocked to move. What other parts of the book do u like?(funny parts or mean parts) I think the part where Byron gets his lips stuck to the car is funny because he reminds me of my brother in that part. Another funny part is when the dad shaves Byron's head.LOL
From: Whitney Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna I don't think that Mamma should have burned Byron's fingers that is really mean and she has no right to do that.
From: Craig Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: stacey :-) I think the funny parts were when By got his hairs cut, when he got yelledat, and when Kenny got punch in the side of the head. I laugh at all of them! :-)
From: Karen Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Crystal Hey Crystal! Do you want to be my online discussion buddy? I thought that it was really funny when Byron got his head buttered and then Dad shaved off all of his hair! I also thought it was funny that Dad put aftershave on his head and it hurt his head! Why do you think that the only thing that Byron says is "Awww, man!" Write back!!
From: Travis Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	what do you think of Byron when he got home with his new do. do you think he would look "cooler" that way. why or why not? Please send all comments or questions to Travis
From: Emily Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Stacy The funniest part in chapter 7 is? The funniest part in chapter 7 is when the dad cuts off Byron hair because he died it.
From: Kyle A. Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	In chapter 7 why do you think Byron uses the frase (chihuahua) instead of any thing else.
From: Shane Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: JJay What did yo think when Byron came home with his hair done "Mexican style"? I was shocked. Do you think Byron was right to get his hair done? I wouldn't! Send me back please.
From: Travis Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	I think it was really funny when By's dad cut off all By's hair! I wonder what he thinks of his new "do"
From: Jamie Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Samantha from youens Elementary Hello My name is jamie and I agree that byron deserved that he almost got his hand burned by his mother.And I thought that it was really funny that byron was making that movie that he was flushing toilet paper parachutes down the toilet. do you agree?
From: Whitney Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Everyone i don't think that Byron should have done that to his hair because he probably looked better without that new look and is consequence was that he got his head shaved! Do u think that he should have done that to his hair?
From: Shannon Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Anyone When Byron dyed his hair. It wasn't worth doing because it got cut off anyways.
From: Karen Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	Has anyone ever done anything that their parents didn't want them to? Send information about it to me! I once broke into someone's house and got caught so my parents got really mad and I got spanked. I was only 7 or 8 though!
From: peter Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	What do you think of the Brown Bomber. I liked it when Byron said that the Brown Bomber looked like a turd on wheels.
From: Craig Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Author I think that Bys mom and dad are to easy on By. I think that they should have burnt his hand off. I think they shoud hit him or something so he starts listen to them beter.
From: Shane Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Eric Do you think Byron was right to do his hair like that? He should have been sent to juvy. I would have done that. He disobeys he mom and dad.
From: Emily Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Stacy I like When the dad keeps bying stuff for the car.
From: Travis Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: madison I never get in any real trouble. If you have any more questions to ask me I would be happy to answer them
From: Thomas Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	I thought how Byron's Dad handeled the Mexican-hair problem was Hilarious! I also thought it was (in-a-way) smart and funny at the same time! If I was Byron I woud have just slicked back my hair with a little water and some super strong holding GEL. OUT!
From: heather Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Kelsie from TX I am on chapter 7 and half way to 8 and I still think that that is one of my favorit parts. I can just imagine my little brother kissing himself in a mirror and getting his lips stuck. How about you? I dont want to spoil anything for you so I will keep my quastions to the first few chapters. What chapter are you on? What do you think will happen next? Do yau think Kenny has one up an byren? Do you think Byren will change?
From: Ashley Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: to any body who likes the book why do you like the book
From: Ashley Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: to any body who likes the book Is the book funny?? and why do you think that??
From: AmberA Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jeanna(From Saltwater Elementry) Hey, I didnt like the idea of hia own mother burning his fingers. Wouldnt you think that would hurt? I would. I would run the first chance I got. Well do you want to be My discussion partener? Write back -Amber A.
From: Dan Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Amy My mom would be glad because she likes to listen to music. She would use it a lot.
From: tisha Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	ithink bryon's momma and dad are mad because they like his hair the way it was before
From: Ashley Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jonathan G. and Danny B. I definately agree. Matches are supposed to be kept out of reach of children. He shouldn't get burned because he was being obstanant and didn't listen. That is not a good punishment. He did deserve to be punished though.
From: brett Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone hello everybody
From: willie Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone do you think larry dunn should of got beat up.
From: chris Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: amy If my father got a new cd player my mom would be mad because she likes the cd player that is in our car now.
From: Brandi Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: whom wants to be my partner I just go though chapter 8. I thought it was a good idea to get the brown bomber clean and in shape. It was funny how they made a big deal about the little pine tree air freshener. And the new addition, the record player.I think Grandma Sands is awesome. Even though we haven't met her yet she is loud but it sounds like dad doesn't like her very much.
From: AmberA Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jeanna(From Saltwater Elementry) Hey, I cant believe Byron dyed his hair! I wonder why he did it though. Maybe he wants some attenion or something. My dad would of done the same thing if i would dye my hair without consulting him first! But I think that was a little harsh shaving his head off. I would leave it and see how others think of him, so he could go though the hulimiation. Write Back what you think! -Amber A.
From: Dan Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna I think she should of because he would never do it again. If he did momma would do something even worse.
From: Ashley Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: to any body who likes the book I think the three funniest things in the book was when By died his hair a different color and when dad is always being so funny and trying to get every body to try and like the brown bomber by always buying things for it like the little green thing that hangs up in your car or truck a air freasheringer??that is the three funniest things i liked in that chapter.
From: tisha Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	i think bryons negatived trodes his parent is not so good because he mouth of to his parents
From: Angie Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	I think that Byron is turning aginst his parents because of his attitude towards them. When momma sent him to his room he told Kenny that he didn't care what they did to him. Kenny and Joey reacted opposite. Kenny was taking advantage of By's situation and making fun of him. Joetta was protecting him and trying to help him. She was to young to understand that Byron doesn't care. I think Momma and Dad are so mad because he won't listen to them and they're sick of it.
From: brett Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	i think if is funny when byron calls the "brown bomber" a "turd" that is prety funny
From: brett Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: tisha hi do ulike the book
From: willie Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone what do you think byrons mom & dad will do when they find out about the bill at mr.mitchell's store.
From: Ashley Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: to any body who likes the book I think Byron's parents should be mad about his hair what if that was your child would you let him die his hair at the age of 13 or 14 i wouldn't because they are my kids and when they get grown then thats when they can die there own hair because they are not a miner any more i wont be able to cotrole them any more
From: Patrick Grade 7th Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Anyone Interested Hello, I feel really bad for Larry even though he beat people up. I don't like people who beat up people (even though I did it at one time). I think Kenneth's parents are really strict, my parents let me do anything I want. I want to know what Buphead is like because they never really talk about him. I do like Kenneth because he has a lot of problems and it is funny sometimes. Then again I feel bad for him like when he is hit. I feel it isn't fair. What if Kenneth was older, what would Byron do about it. If Kenneth was older he probably wouldn't hit Byron though. I would like to see the tables turn sometime or another. Now that truly would be funny.
From: Ashley Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Anybody I am answering Chapter 7's questions so, if you haven't read that far, don't peek! I think the three funniest parts in this chapter have to be when Byron comes home with that funky hair do. What was he thinking! Personally, I wouldn't have a hair do like that because well, I'm a girl. I don't think that would look cool. Another part would be when Byron's dad shaves his head. He must have looked hilarious, going from Mexican style to a "bald beauty". Then, everyone starts teasing him and Momma denies that Byron is her child. If I was Byron I would have even laughed. Kenny was funny talking about "prisoner 541" and asking if he had any last words. It is amazing how Joetta can go into ICM, instant cry mode, when she knows something bad will happen to Byron. She just breaks out into instant tears which she thinks will make Momma and Dad stop their punishment. Even I have done things my parents didn't want me to. I did something (I'm not going to say what) that I know they would not approve of (It's nothing that bad, not like drugs or alcohol or anything) and when they found out, they yelled at me. I was in trouble, but they didn't burn me like they did to Byron. They grounded me, which isn't too bad.
From: chris Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna I think he should have because he diserved it.
From: Michelle Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Cati Do you think "Daddy Cool" is really that cool? I don't think he is that cool because for one thing Daddy Cool is really Bryon and he thinks he is the coolest guy on earth but I don't think he is that cool because he almost gets the toilet clogged with wadded up toilet paper and flushing other toys down the toilet.
From: kevin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Brett How far are you
From: Breanna Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna@stillwater Elementry I do think that she should of burned his fingers to teach him a lesson but if someone found out they will probably turn them into social services and she would get the kids tooken away.
From: Bryan Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone this book rools!
From: derrik Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Luis I think that Byron's parents are mad at him because byron shaved his hair off and they were mad at him because of Byrons hair.
From: Kayla Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: author of the book How did you come up with the name Buphead?
From: kevin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: To anyone How is the book so far
From: Dustin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Tom Hi, I think that this book is also getting better and better every chapter. In a way I don't feel sorry for Lary but I in a way know how it feel to etheir be pushed into a frnce or pushing someone into a fence, I feel sorry for lary just because that was the way his parents had raised lary. So I hope that the writer will next time make the charaters more nice
From: Alyssa Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: amy My mom would be glad.What would your mom think?
From: Michelle Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Cati Why do you think Mamma and Dad hate his new hair style? I think his parents hate his hair style because he like died it a wild color and a new hair style, but I think his parents shouldn't of shaved his hair off because mabey he likes his own styles and doesn't like to be like everyone else. Also I imaganed his hair style in my mind and it looked preety cool.!
From: kevin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Derrik They weren't mad at Byron because he saved his head They svaed his head.
From: angela Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Amy Do you think that Byron's mom is mean? I think that it was funny when his mom draged him down the stairs. I also think that it was funny when he killed the bird with a cookie.
From: luis Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	how is the book
From: gary Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna I think Momma should have Byrons fingers!!!!! What did you think when Byron got his hair cut?
From: Brando Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: EVERYONE Do you think that byron got what he deserved or do you think he didn't deserve what he got.
From: Alyssa Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Amy My mom would be glad. What would tour mom do?
From: LaPortia Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Karen What was your favorite part in the book? I really like the part when Larry Dunn was giveing mae tag washes and thats when Byron started to beat up Larry.
From: hannah Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: hannah <:) <))>( hello, have you found anybody yet. I haven't heard from you. How far are you in the book? I think it is funny that By did his hair like that. What do you think your parents would do to you if you did that?
From: kevin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: The Author Does this story relate to your life in some way?
From: Andy Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Crystal (Houston, Texas) I think it's funny when Byron got "a butter" and when his dad found out he had to get it shaved off.
From: Abbigail Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Crystal Hey do you wan't to be my discussion partner? Do you think Byron is really cool with that "mexican style" hair? I think it would look kind of stupid.
From: LaPortia Grade 5th Youens Elementary Houston, TX	To: Karen What was your favorite part in the book? I really like the part when Larry Dunn was giveing mae tag washes and thats when Byron started to beat up Larry.
From: Melissa Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: people that don't have an online dissucion buddy Is there anybody that doesn't have a buddy? w/b (write back)
From: Breanna Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Jenna@Stillwater Elementry I would burn his fingers to teach him a lesson but if someone found out he would get taken away by social services and probably sent to a foster home and all the kids would get taken away. -Breanna
From: Tina Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: hannah <:) <))>( hello, have you found anybody yet. I haven't heard from you. How far are you in the book? I think it is funny that By did his hair like that. What do you think your parents would do to you if you did that?
From: Kayla Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anybody What is your favorite part of the book and why?
From: Nick Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: to the author I liked the part when byron died his hair and his dad shaved it. I also liked the part when Byron was setting the guys on fire and flushing them down the toilet for his movie.
From: Dustin Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone I think that daddy-cool is the funnest character in the hole hole book. I think this because of the way he acts he says that he could not be a part of this family because he is so much cooler than this family when he is playing with the toliet paper down the toliet. I think that his parents are very smart when by had got the buter I would have done the same thing with cutting all his hair off
From: Bryan Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: anyone what do you think was the funniest part of the book so far?
From: Breanna Grade 7 Marshall Middle School Marshall, WI	To: Amy@sherdan My mom would have apprecated it and would have said "move" and got in the car and start jamming the music and probably would have been more exited then the kids were! How would your mom react?
