Jeff and Wiley are best friends who make up nicknames for everybody in their sixth grade class.  But a new girl comes to their school and they don't know what nickname to make for her.  The other problem is that some of the nicknames Wiley and Jeff make up are backfiring and they have to save all the great nicknames they make up before it is too late.  I like this book a lot because it is funny most of the time.

Spring 2002

Two boys make nicknames for children in their grade.  A new girl comes into their class and at first they can't find a name for her. They both start to like her and decide not to make a nickname for her.   One day the two boys go to her house and they help her move bricks.  They start carrying more and more ... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 ... and then finally they can't hold any more and the bricks fall.  After that day both of them start making plans to embarrass each other so that the girl will like just one of them.  The two boys ruin their friendship over a girl.  I would recommend this book to someone who likes reading books that are funny.

Wiley and Jeff are best friends who give the kids at their school nicknames.  When the new teacher, Mr. Hughes, becomes their English teacher,  they nickname  him Mr. Huge.  He is also a football coach.   A girl named Cassandra is a new student at their school, but she's different.  No nickname fits her.  They both begin to like her and fight over her. 

Wiley and Jeff have two major problems.  They both want Cassandra to ask them to the next dance.  And if their class doesn't pass the State Reading Assessment, Mr. Huges might be fired.  Will Jeff and Wiley's friendship end over a girl?  Will Mr. Hughes, the teacher they love in a weird way, be fired for not teaching his class?  I recommend reading this book because it's funny all the way through.  It's a real page-turner and you won't want to put it down.
