This book is about a boy named Holling Hoohood, that fails in school. His teacher, Mrs. Baker is really strict. She assigns Holling to read a lot of books. His friends are getting mean just because Mrs. Baker told Holling to get the cream puffs. His friends thought that he was going to eat one and they were jealous. The positive, part of this book is that when Holling read Shakespeare and he acted it out he was given cream puffs which he shared with his friends. I think you should read this book so you will understand why your friends get jealous sometimes. Kevin E., Grade 6
