This story is about a boy named Bradley Chalkers and Jeff Fishkin. Bradley always gets in trouble at school, so he spends a lot of time with the school guidance counselor, Carla Davis. Jeff tries to be friends with Bradley, but Bradley only wants to be left alone. His only friends are his wooden animals, and he talks to them all the time. Bradley finally agrees to be friends with Jeff, but their friendship changes when Melinda gives Bradley a black eye. Everyone thinks that Jeff was responsible for the black eye. This makes Jeff popular with all the kids in school, because they don't like Bradley. Everything changes for Bradley when he proves that he can play basketball. Carla is transferred to another school, and Bradley is very upset. To find out what happens to Bradley you will have to read this book.

This book is very funny, but it can is also sad. It is the type of book that once you start reading it you want to continue to reading until you reach the end.
