Awesome book for all ages!

The sixth grade nickname game is one of the funniest books I've ever read! The general idea of the book was great, and I would recomend it to anyone that can read. Anyone and everyone should read this book!

Good book

The book begins when room 6B gets a new substitute teacher. His name was Mr. Hughes. He acted like a football coach, which he was. Wiley and Jeff A.K.A "The Nicknamers", nicknamed him Mr. Huge. One day a new girl came to their classroom. Her name was Cassandra. They tried to think of a nickname for her, but they couldn't. They made a bet with another guy (Snoopy) to see if all their nicknames could stick. One day Snoopy heard that Mr. Hughes would get fired if they didn't pass the assessment test. So they had a meeting and decided to read and try to do well on the Assessment test. Once they got to know Cassandra, they started to like her. They began to fight over her. They wanted her to take one of them to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. If you want to know who she takes to the dance, who wins the bet with Snoopy, and if Mr. Hughes gets fired, then read this book !!!!!!!

You should read this BOOK!!

Wiley and Jeff made nicknames for everyone and their subsitute, Mr. Hughes, which is now their teacher. Charles Rossini, Snoopy, wnted another nickname so they had a bet. But, Cassandra, a new girl came and they couldn't find a nickname for her, so they spent more time getting to know her and they strted liking her and they shared their first broken-heart together and they gve her the nickname, Carrot-top. I agree with the author because this book is funny and I like to give nicknames to all my frieds and because this book is entertaining. Also, he treats all the characters right and he makes them seem real. I would recommend it to my friends because it is a cute, entertaining, and book and the kids in the book are the same age as us.

Book has all the great components of a classic school story.

My son (in sixth grade) and I read Korman books together because we think they are so funny. This one lived up to the tradition. The characters are two best friends with only one girl, the annoying classmate and the bland guy ceives a cool nickname, as well as the "you can do it" teacher and the stodgy principal. The girl and the teacher are Korman's "misfits" in this story and provide most of the lauhgs.
