The Sloppy Copy Slipup

By: DyAnne DiSalvo



Brian Higman is the main character of the story. He is the biggest in his class at Franklin Elementary school. His teacher wants him to write a sloppy copy, but he told a story to the class that counted for the homework assignment . One of his friends is a girl named Ana. They were ex-best friends, then they were friends again.



Brian had to force his teacher to allow him not to write the sloppy copy because he could not tell the rest of his story. So, Mrs. Fromme (their teacher) gave him 1 more chance for his life. He did not get a 0 on his homework. Brian couldn't write the rest of his story because the class was getting out of control with the story. Everybody got excited about the story and they were getting rowdy when he was telling about his sloppy copy.


Later that week, Brian and Ana started a band called The Pitt. Brian found the money to start the band. He saved up for a guitar and hid his money he found on the ground and from his allowance in a peanut jar, in his grandparents backyard. Their dog Patches found the money, and hid it under the rug.

Brian's little brother Stevie got punished for the very first time! He got punished because he ran away. But, they faked that Brian was getting punished. Stevie ran away from the library because Brian thought that Stevie took the money.

I really liked this book because of the story he told. I liked Brian the most because he is the main character and because the stuff that he says is funny. I would recommend this story to people who need help on their homework, so they don't make excuses.
