  school, present day
• The point of view is third person

Characters

• Donald is the main character in the book. He is a
  really funny character. He isnt afraid to
  express himself. Sometimes people get annoyed
  with him because he is so goofy and annoying. He
  has a lot of energy.
• Andrew is a minor character. Him and his family
  just moved to the house next to Donald. Andrew is
  very shy. Donald tries to welcome him by making
  him a cookie but Donald messes up and makes him
  cry. I think it will take some time for things to
  get better for Andrew.
• Donald definitely changes throughout the book. He
  starts to act more his age and more mature.
  People start to like him more. He isnt so
  annoying and doesnt have as much energy.

Plot summary

• The conflict in this book is the way that Donald
  acts and that he doesnt have any friends. Donald
  is so full of energy that he is annoying and
  nobody wants to be around him. Every year
  Donald's school would do something called field
  days. Nobody would want Donald on his team
  because he was so hyper that he would start doing
  the wrong things.
• The crisis in the story happens when Donald goes
  missing because he is looking for his friend
  Claudia. Claudia went missing at 700p.m. and was
  found at 730p.m. Donald had know idea that she
  was found and was out looking for her till
  100a.m. the police were out looking for him for
  hours and he had his parents worried to death.
• The in this book is that Donald becomes more
  mature. He acts more his age and people start to
  like him. He realizes how annoying he was and of
  he acts his age that people will like him.

Moral

• The moral in this book is that if you dont act
  annoying to people, then they will like you. I
  think Donald did a really good job of acting more
  mature and controlling himself.

My Opinion

• I really liked this book. It wasnt the best book
  I have ever read but I thought it was pretty
  good.
• I didnt really like how the book was put
  together. It went from place to place a lot
  without explaining why.
• I would recommend this book to kids that have no
  friends.
• I would rate this book 4 stars.
