New book I am reading is 'Report To The Principal's Office' by Jerry Spinelli. It is a realistic fiction book, written by a Newberry-award-winning author. This book is the first book of the 4 book series (Report To The Principal's Office, Who Ran My Underwear Up The Flagpole?, Do The Funky Pickle, Picklemania). From the two chapters I have read so far, I know three interesting characters. I chose this book because when I read 'Sixth-grade glommers, norks, and me', it was very interesting and easy to understand. So I wanted try another book about school. It is extra great because this is also about sixth graders! (I had no new words.)

Chapter 1: Hillary and Sunny (This is not the name of the chapter)
Hillary Kain and Sunny Wyler are best friends because they've known each other for 7 years in the same preschool, kindergarten and even in the same classes in elementary school. They live right across the street so they spent vacations with each others' families. But the problem was, because of the 'Baby Boomlet', all of the babies became now sixth graders and the Cedar Grove Middle School can't hold that much kids. So they built a new middle school: the Plumstead Middle School. What people did was, they divided who will go to which of the two middle schools, by putting the street in between. Hillary and Sunny got separated. They made a promise that Hillary wouldn't wash her hair and Sunny would wear the same T-shirt everyday and not get it washed until they are back together in the same school again. Sunny decided to not talk to anybody. And so what if her nose is running? Let it run! The more she is weird, disgusting and smelly, the faster she would get kicked out and get transferred into Hillary's school. 

Chapter 2: Eddie
Eddie Mott wanted to leave his boyhood and felt like he was just about to enter the grown-up world. It was hard to leave not so good memories in fifth grade. Now he thought he could fit in, following these three points: 
1. Be friendly
2. Wear the right clothes
3. Avoid eighth-graders
Then he saw this girl (Sunny, who had just called the bus driver, a gorilla before she shuts her mouth) who was entering the bus. The seats were taken but the seat next to Eddie was open. Sunny sat down. Eddie was being very friendly. Sunny didn't even move. "Got a cold there?" Eddie asked. He could see Sunny's running nose just sitting there, that seemed like it decided to stop run. That girl finally turned around very slowly and sniffed. That thing ran back into her nose. Eddie was quite surprised. He took a breath and talked again. "I hear the new school has air-conditioning." But the answer from the nose sniffing girl was "The next person that tells me the new school has air-conditioning is gonna get a punch in the face." When the bus arrived at school, Eddie was scrunched in between the loud front who were shouting for their football and the eighth graders who lifted Eddie and threw him to the front. So the bus driver had to toss the kids off the bus. Later, Eddie found himself sitting alone at the backseat.
