Summary

The summary in this book is that every one has to complement everyone in Miss. Kemps class and the hardest person to complement is Imogene herdman. Its hard for the person to complement cause all they do is steel. At first he thought about nice and smart but then he thought about it and said healthy,resouceful,thrifty,cooperative,enthusiastick,clean,and loyal. Then he tells her that she's loyal cause she got Boyd leggets head out of a bike rack. Everybody thought that he would make the most dumbest complement ever but it was the best complement in the whole class. Every one laughs except miss Kemp cause she loved it.

Conflict

The conflict in this story is that the main character has to go through the whole school year with all the Herdmans in one class. He says that the school year is going terrible when the last day comes he says he that he is right. All the herdmans do everything a that’s bad. the day he stepped into the classroom he knew it was going to be a bad year. he never had the courage to tell his teacher that he wants to go to a different class so that’s what made him stuck with the herdmans for the rest of the year. All of the kids said they got the best teacher and they had the best school year ever. The main character told everyone that he is going to have the worst school year until the last 10 minutes of the the day come and they have a little party with nachos and soda.

Resolution

The resolution got solved by the last 10 minutes of the day. For that ten minutes they had a huge party that felt like it was a whole day they partyed.every body brought chips and chesses some one brought American chesse. The main character had about ten couprsuns and he said he had to sit down for at least 20 minutes. At the end of the day he said this was the best school year he ever had in his whole life he had been to school. He thought that someone said his name so he turned back and he saw a teacher and it was Ms.Kemp running after him with a bag of goodies and he said that no one has had a best school year ever like this one.

Critic’s Cornerthe highlight of the book is when the main character has to tell

Imogene all his complements he wrote down.

Yes I did like this book.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it is always obvious when stuff is stolen and something is wrong they all know it’s the Herdsman's.
