Last chapter and the obnoxious Otis gets MAJOR comeuppance, dang! As much as readers can dislike a protagonist, yep! He'll be getting his soon enough, mainly Ellen and Austine but others join in the brigade, so to speak.

I'm picky and read slowly, but I do love books. I love audiobooks and am so pleased to finally be a part of that world via librivox.org.
I'd say more but too many people "know" who I am, and that understanding has always been up for debate. (Even stranger is barely anyone gets in touch with me to ask.) ^_^

Chapter Five: That was a bit dubious in which some first nations inaccuracy abounds as it would in the mid 20th century. Either way that makes little difference to Otis making a massive boo-boo in which Ellen's hair gets cut and a bit too much of it, I guess we'll find out in the next chapter how the dude from the main office is going to wail on Otis...

Chapter Four: Weird bit with him and Stewy attempting to do the science homework for a high school football player by collecting bugs for him and then battling over who gives him his collection and a goofy bit where a younger kid, Bucky, is also helping out Otis as he admires him.

Trtippy as heck to have both Ellen and Otis feeding the class rat feeling it was each own's pet! Ellen confessed first which rather drowned out Otis' confession, now their love for Mutt The Rat seems to be bringing them together as friends???

Got this one started today and Otis has as many or more annoying attributes than he did in the Ellen Tebbits book. Dude looks like he lives in a project and did mention there was no yard , so okay. There is some bullfighting thing the teacher suggests since the class has more boys than girls for dancing either lessons or some event. Otis was okay with it until he found out he was going to be one half of the bull rather than the bullfighter dude with the red cape thing going on. One would THINK he would have been the bull's rear-end but that job went to Stewie who isn't much better than Otis if at all. I awaited for Otis to rip one in the costume but it never happened. Oh well.

Chapter Six: Some kind of celebration in which Ellen gets to play a rat in the play and then gets wrangled into a May pole dance and tangles things and Austine helps her out, but I'm not sure she knows it's Ellen because of her costume.

Chapter Five and Ellen and Austine want to dress up in a same dress for fourth grade but one mom sews the pattern incompatibly and what a disaster! The woes of days of sewing ones own clothes and going to school with the likes of Otis entails, ugh!

Chapters 17 & 18 (I think) and wow, that was a lot of weirdness with Melanie and Eddie Murphy. ISSUES, but I appreciate her clearly explaining so much. All the broo-ha with media and all that. These days it's hard to imagine anyone cares, even news people. I am glad her mum gave some thoughts on the follow up dude. I'm glad the girls got a mention and another reunion that was being planned at the time and my sports geek husband could explain the L.A. Galaxy bit I was uncertain about with Victoria's husband, etc. Again, Scary Spice keeps me reading, I'm satisfied to report.
