Surprisingly good

This book deals with an aspect of junior high that everyone experiences: bullying. We can all think back to our grade school days and remember that one person who, for one reason or another, was picked on and could do no right in the eyes of the other class members. In this book, the main character, Ludwig von Beethoven Carter (poor guy), is that guy from grade school who was a normal, accepted kid who got good grades. However, he becomes the guy in the class who is picked on when his mother becomes the star of a silly, educational science show for kids. In order to regain his popularity, Wiggy Carter keeps trying to change his image in order to be accepted by the "cool," trouble-making kids.While one looks at the title and cover of the book, he thinks that this is going to be a book written just for the amusment of the young reader. However, I was happily surprised to see that this book deals with a lot of peer pressure issues and social issues that junior high students struggle with every day. I highly recommend it to help put things in perspective for students. They have to go through "drama" in the classroom every day and this book can really help them to look at the "queen bee" as well as the "nerd" in a new light.

Nerd No More

Nerd No More Wiggle V. Cater is a regular kid that is smart and nice. He is like every kid in the sixth grade. A problem comes when his mom becomes the host of Jump Into Science. But a real problem occurs when the other kids lead him to trouble. I liked this book because, it was funny. The main character was wiggle V. Carter who is sort of a nerd. He is a nice kid who just wants to fit in. This book was easy to read and understand. The book was used with simple words. That is why I liked this book.

Great book!

It is a great book about a boy who is a pure nerd! It is also how he copes with it!
