Spider Boy Book

SPOILER ALERT!!! Bobby Ballenger moved from Naperville Illinois, to New York. When he moves, right away he notices a boy with dark black hair, this boy is Chick Hall. Chick calls Bobby "Spider Boy" because of his large interest in any spider, and his knowledge in any species. When Bobby sees Chick cheat on a test, he tells the teacher, and to get him back, Chick kills Bobby's new pet spider Monk.

Some of the main characters in this book, are Bobby Ballenger, Chick Hall, and Lucky Prescott. These people are mentioned multiple time throughout this novel. The protagonist in this novel, is Bobby Ballenger, and the antagonist, is Chick Hall, who bullies Bobby. The MAIN character, is Bobby, and is always the number one person talked about. Chick Hall, however, is not the main character, but is talked about a lot throughout the novel.

I personally could not relate to anything in this story. I say this because the story is about a boy who just moved and feels out of placed and is getting bullied multiple times. I have never moved in my life, and don't usually feel out of place, or that I am being bullied in my life. I could also not be able to relate to any of the characters in this story. The characters are either, the bully, the new guy, or the girl that is a friend to all, and also the new person.

I did like this book, because there were good, humorous parts, and also some very sad parts. I was a little bit skeptical at first, because i didn't know what to think at the beginning of the story. My favorite part of this book, was when Chick thought he snitched on him for cheating on the test, and he fought him. This was my favorite part, because of the description of the fight. My least favorite part of the book was when Chick put Bobby's pet spider Monk in the freezer, and killed him. This was my least favorite part, because it was very sad to hear what people will do because of a dumb reason. The author made lots of emotions happen really well. This is because he has funny parts, sad parts, and some parts that just make you straight up ANGRY. Although the author did lots of things really well, i think that he could have made some of the dialogue better, and made some of the emotion IN the dialogue better.

I would recommend this book to almost anyone. I would recommend this book, because it has good characters, a good story line, and in my opinion is just a good book in general. The main kind of people that I would recommend is the people who like a good story, with good points and lots of facts that you probably didn't know In the book itself.
