Book Report - 'Herbie Jones'

I read a book named 'Herbie Jones' by Suzy Kline. I chose this book because I read another book written by Suzy Kline and it was fun. This book is about the boy named Herbie Jones. In his class, there are three reading level and the group 'Apple' is the lowest level in his class. He and his best friend Raymond were in the Apple. Oneday, Herbie studied hard for the spelling test and get 100. After that day, Herbie get 100 in every spelling test. Herbie get in to the higer group but Raymond couldn't. Raymond tried many things to get out of the apple but he couldn't. The good idea came to Herbie's mind. It was changing the group name! Raymond changed group name to Spider and get out of from Apple.
This book made me think about my childhood. When I was first grade in elementry school, our class used to take spelling test too. I always studied hard to get 100 but it was really hard. When I get 30 in spelling test, my mother scolded me alot.
In this book, I like the Raymond's character. He is so pure and cute. He thought if he dressed up well or draw picture well, his teacher would let him to go higer reading group. I think when I was young, I thought many sily things too.
I like this book and I want to read more books written by Suzy Kline. I want to go back to my childhood.
