Customer Reviews

This is such a GREAT book to read!

My book is about these two boys who have a substitute teacher and they switch places. My book is a fictional book but it could really happen in real life. In my book, this boy named Ray and his friend named James are playing softball. Ray falls an his ankle and has a sprain. Ray and James switch places because they have a substitute teacher. My characters in The Sub are James who is acting like Ray. James is a smart kid, and he is not like Ray who loves sports. Ray who is acting like James. I think Ray is kind of a bully person. He makes the real James get in trouble because he gets his name on the board. There is also Mrs. Wallets who is the substitute teacher for the class. At the end she knows that Ray and James did switch places. They got the idea to switch places because James said all the teachers that they have had only look at the seating chart. " If we changed seats the sub wouldn't even know. I would be Ray and you would be James". I think that P.. Peterson is trying to say is that you shouldn't pull pranks on people. My favorite part would be when Ray and James are fighting and Mrs. Wallets write their names on the board. This book is a homorous book. I think third, fourth, and fifth graders would like this book. I like this book because I like school and this book took place in school.
