From: Kristin, Jenni Grade 7th Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: ally Hey, It's me. My brother is 9 almost 10 in April. We think chp.8 is really interesting. That was really thoughtful of dad getting the ultra glide for the car. We thought the smelly green pine tree part was funny. Do you think momma was being fair in chp.5 ?
From: Bryan and Ashley Grade 7th Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: Anyone We think they are outraged because, he went and did his hair without asking for their permission first. If we were in their postion we would have been angry too, because he disobeyed their rules. Why do you think they were angry?
From: T'Arir&Partice Grade 7 Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: Christopher Paul Curtis How did you come up with the idea LJ stealing Kenney's dinosaurs in chapter 3?

Our favorite character is Kenny, because he is adventuresome. Yes, we do like going to our Gramma's house because they spoil us. What about you? We think that it was right that Mamma and Daddy sent Byron to his Grandma's house.
From: William Grade 7 Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: Christopher Paul Curtis I am wondering how you can make all these books.

When byron got his lips stuck to the car, what did you think would happen next? When byron was playing with matches, do you think momma would live up to her word? Have you ever been burnt by someone? We haven't. Have you finished the book yet? We have. Write back.
From: Leah and Jacki Grade 7 Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: shane We, (Leah and I) think sticking your hands out of the window is weird, but looking forward to seeing what it feels like. We think Byron is Daddy cool,we think this because he thinks he is so cool,he acually tried to kiss his reflection and his lips got stuck. Do you think Byron deserved it?
From: Nicole & Nichole Grade 7 Plum Point Middle School Huntingtown, MD	To: Anyone Do you think that Momma could be harsh at sometimes? Could it be that the cold gets to her? Have you ever thought that she has the pressure of being infuenced to much from her family?
From: Tommy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: whoever wants to read it I think the author created suspense by not telling whats going to happen until the end of the book.
From: Tommy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: whoever wants to read it I like the record player
From: Amanda Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Rachel H I think that this book is swell so far! It is exicting and funny at some parts.
From: Tommy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: whoever wants to read it Grandma Sands should be mean to Byron
From: Rachel Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Tommy Hey do you like the Book?

From: Jonathan Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Who ever wants to read it This book is funny. Take chapter 7 tor example how Byron got his hair shaved becaus he made it mexican. Also the part where Byron gets his lips stuck thecar window.
From: Rachel H Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Amanda B I like that Byron is dieing his hair!
From: Amy Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Shawn I thought it was fair how mama tried to burn By's finger, because she had already given him a lot of warnings.My group is already on chapter 13!Who do you think Mr.Roberts is?
From: Amanda Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	I like the part about By dieing his hair. I think the ending of the book is going to be even more fun.
From: Rachel H Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Anyone Do you like the book? My fav chapter is chapter 7!
From: Cory Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Anyone Do you think that Byron is going to be so nice that Grandma Sands is going to call Momma and tell her that she doesn't need to come and pick up Byron? Maybe he'll stay with Grandma Sands until he is old enough to move out. Maybe he'll like it better in Birmingham than in Flint and decide to stay with Grandma Sands. Or maybe the whole family will move to Birmingham. What do you think?
From: Tracey Grade fifth Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Ashley I was wondering something.You know how chapter 13 is named Meet Winnie's Evil Twin Brother,Wool Pooh,well I made a prediction and said maybe Grandma Sands has knitted a replica of Winnie the Pooh out of wool and she gives it to one of the children and they hate it.What do you think?
From: Jonathan Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Anybody Man this book is really great I think that the perso really deserved served the awards he got. And I think Byron in this book has a bad attitude and its a good idea that he should go to Grandma Sands.
From: Barbra Grade 6th Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: anyone I thinnk the book is very interesting. I think it was a kind of good kind of bad to send Byron to Birmingham. Good because he might behave there. Bad beause he might be worse because his parents are not around. And besides he might miss his family all though he acts likt he does not care for them. Happy Valentine's Day!
From: Madison Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary Petoskey, MI	To: Everyone Wouldn't it be funny if Byron acts perfect at Grandma Sands's house, but if he accidently drops a pan and Grandma Sands starts to swear at Byron! What do you think? What do you think would be really funny? ~Write Back Soon~
From: Rachel Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Cory Do you like the book?
From: Barbra Grade 6th Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Tommy I also think the same thing about suspense
From: Tommy Grade 6 Stillwater Elementary Stillwater, NJ	To: Anyone who wants to read it Grandma Sands should be mean to Byron. after all he's gone through I would have sent him to the army in the first grade. But i also feel kind of bad for Byron because he will have to leave Buphead and make brand new friends in Birmingham. I think dad went a little over board with the announcing though.
