1. August has a different face, he had 27 surgeries, and I'm pretty sure ordinary kids don't get stared at.

2. He didn't go to school before because he might be teased of his different face..

3. His mom wanted him to learn more, and she was bad at fractions.

4. If I were August, I would probably be confused and surprised. I would probably argue against going to school.

5. Well, his principal's name is Mr. Tushman, and 'Tush' basically means 'Butt' so Mr. Tushman would basically be named Mr. Buttman. Oh, and he also remembered about how his parents had a teacher (or a principal?) named Miss Butt.

6. Ms. G runs the school and is Mr. Tushman's assistant.

7. Jack is nice, like a good friend. Charlotte is nice but kind of over-enthusiastic, and Julian is a straight-up rude bully. Oh, Julian is also a frog-faced blob of snail slime.

8. Sad, probably, because of Julian's rude comments.

9. I think people teased him about the braid so cut it off.

10. Perpects of the month that Mr. Browne use.
