Books I've read before^_^


There's a boy in the girl's bathroom! By Louis Sachar.
This book is about a boy called Bradley Chalkers, who was a bully in the school. There was a new counsellor called Carla and she thought that Bradley could change. She assumed that she could see the good side of him. Bradley was lonely, but he made friends with the new kid, Jeff Fishkin. Unfortunately, Jeff became popular because he was mistaken by the others that he gave Bradley a black eye. Jeff started to be nasty to Bradley, while Bradley was trying his best to be nice. Carla helped him to do his homework, she chatted with him about topics.

Bradley enjoyed the time he spent with Carla. he wanted to be good-hearted but others won't give him a chance. He didn't have the courage to do it too. When he found out that Carla was fired from the school by reason of the parents think that they waste money on Carla's useless help to assistance children. Therefore, Bradley said he would be good from that day on, he would do it for Carla. He made friends again with Jeff. A girl(Collen), who recognized Bradley being kind to her, invited him to her birthday party. Bradley never been to a party before, he was nervous that he would mess it up. In the end, it turned out to be great fun to him. It was his best day-he loved it. Still, he really missed Carla.

I think that this book was a great book, it tells me lessons in real life. There are a good side and a bad side in every person. Like Bradley here. To make people like you, you must be nice to them in a way that they give chances and treat you equally. Bradley tried to avoid the bad side by the help of Carla and himself, though it was difficult in the first place but he didn't give up. Louis Sachar tells this by writing a comedic, friendship story. He used many interesting verbs, adjectives... Additionally he had many catchy sentences that builds up tension when i was reading it. I hope that there would be another awesome book like this.
