3. The Characters I think my favorite character would have to be Pete. He was the one who taught Bobby that he doesn’t need to worry what other people think about him, it’s what he thinks about himself. I think he was a really inspiring character.

6. The Summary One Fat Summer was about a kid named Bobby, who has to go through some obstacles to have a good Summer. He has a bully, who wants to practically kill him for taking his Summer job. He has that Summer job, but only gets paid 50 cents an hour, and he does A LOT of work. His best and only friend leaves him for about 4 weeks and when she comes back, she has changed. He barely knows her, he thinks. I thought the book was really good, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good book, that will keep them interested and eager to read more.
