Groovy!

A lesson about the importance of not insulting others is in this novel.

"Doug's Big Compack"

Let's start where this great adventure does start.Let me tell you about the characters. We have Doug Funnie, the average student, and his best friends, Skeeter and Pattie. Pattie is Doug's major crush. He does everything with Skeeter. There is also the nastiest, meanest, rudest, grossest class bully in the world. He has a stupid gang that always picks on Doug and his friends. While they pick on him, Doug tries to think of a comeback. When he does find one to use it backfires and now he says jokes to everyone and is in Roger's gang. He insults his mother, father, friends, sister, and even Pattie of all people. Then he realizes how it hurts their feelings. Will he stop? Can he stop or does he not want to? I think this book is a 5 star book because you learn about friends and what is right and wrong.I would recommend this book to ages 7-9. It was worth reading. It was good because I didn't know what would happen next. The character's seemed so real they could have popped out in front of me. The story was both serious and entertaining. The serious part was when I worried about rude things he would say next. It was entertaing when he said funny stuff.It taught me and can teach you that friends are very important and don't lose a great friendship. It was filled wuth more action ever and it held my interst until the last page.
