He's the oldest in his class, he tells enormous lies, he picks fights with girls, and teachers say he has "serious behaviour problems. " No-one likes him -- except Carla, the new school counsellor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try...A story of isolation, bravery and gradual acceptance told with great humour by Louis Sachar, the author of the brilliant Holes.

I recommend this book to people who are looking for a good fiction book to read. Because it is very interesting This is a funny book you should read to your student as story time if you are a teacher pleases put 50 good- This book was a really good book. It taught me a lot that friends can change you. Jeff and Carla changed Bradley of not being alone or to even be rude to others. The problem in the book is that No one likes Bradley and people call him a monster or he has behavioral problems. The solution is, is that Jeff and Carla become his friends and help him make more friends. I think in the book, the theme is friendship. This book shows how important friendship really is. Friend can help you during hard times and be with you. It shows in the book because Jeff and Carla helped him through his problems of having no friends. Some of his traits are being a big troublemaker. Loving to tell lies to all teachers, students, adn parent. All kids are afraid of him, and he is the oldest and meanest kid in the whole entire school. I loved this book a lot. It was full of emotions and Bradley having lots of mood swings This is a kid's book but I really love it. I couldn't stop crying when I read the ending. I liked seeing Bradley changing himself by Carla's words and attitude. This book taught me a lot about empathy and self-esteem. To put yourself in someone's shoes. To care about someone's wound in the heart. To love before being loved. They are important but sometimes difficult. That's is why I think this book is not just for kids, but also an adult this is a book about bradley, he doesn't get good grades, and he is always bad behaviour, there came a new kid, who wants to be bradley's friend, and the school counselor is also helping him, but when the counselor went away he was mad, but her got better, and was friends with the new kid again, and there were gold stars next to bradley's name, finally Great book ! Funny , fantastic and talks about bullying and friendship . When Bradley Chalkers ( a boy In 4 th grade second time around ) finds a new boy ( Jeff Fishkin) to be his friend until Jeff thinks he is cool for ' punching Bradley in the eye ' then Bradley becomes friendless again I think this book is really funny and I would really recomend for children ok i love this book 5 stars Oh man I loves this book it's funny and teaches you about bullying and friendship recommend this to all it is a great book h man I loves this book it's funny and teaches you about bullying and friendship recommend this to all
