The Misfits
The Misfits By: James Howe
This is the first book that we have read in our group. So far it is great! This book is about four kids from middle school that call themselves The Misfits. Every Tuesday they meet at the candy kitchen and sit at their favorite booth with the red, ripped leather seats. They always get a soda or ice cream while they talk. And when they talk, Addie always writes down every word. Although, on some Tuesdays when its time for them to meet at the candy kitchen, Bobbie (who is the main character) has to go to work with his boss, killer man.(Mr. Kellerman.) We will get to you on the facts once we read more.We hope you like the book so far.
This week, the group of four become the group of five because they talked DuShawn (a popular black guy) into running for president. So now DuShawn came to one of the candy kitchen meetings.
DuShawn quit the party(for his reasons), and Addie and the gang don't know why. But, they came up with a new party name and they are fine now. The party's name is the " No-Names" party. And their theme saying is "sticks and stones may brake our bones but names will break our spirit." Addie likes Collin who is a popular white guy (and also Joe likes Colin.) The group has been writing the names they have been called, drawing red slash marks through them and posting them around the school.
Bobbie did the speech for the No-Name-Party and they didn't win but the principal supported no more names . Bobbie ended up to be a Senate, Addie became a teacher, Skeezie ran the candy kitchen, and Joe became a writer.
