My son (in sixth grade) and I read Korman books together because we think they are so funny. This one lived up to the tradition. The characters are two best friends with only one girl, the annoying classmate and the bland guy ceives a cool nickname, as well as the "you can do it" teacher and the stodgy principal. The girl and the teacher are Korman's "misfits" in this story and provide most of the lauhgs.

The 6th Grade Nickname Game
17 Jun 2001
A Kid's Review
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is about two best friends called Jeff and Wiley that love to give nicknames to practically everyone they know. But one day a new girl in school arrives, called Cassandra. The boys want to give her a nickname but they don't know what to call her. Soon they start to like her and they want her to invite them to a dance. Jeff and Wiley, who never fought together, started to fight over her. If you want to know who Cassandra asks to the dance, what her nickname will be, and how Jeff and Wiley will solve their problem, then read this book!!!!
I think it was very surprising to find out who Cassandra invites to the dance!!! I tell you, it will be hard to guess!!
I think that this book was very interesting. Yes, it was funny, but not as funny as Gordon Korman's other books, like the Bruno and Boots books(those were really good).Actually, it was not as funny as I thought it would be. Anyways, I gave it four stars because the description was really good. The characters even
seemed like real kids their age. I recommend this book to everyone because it is appropriate for all ages.

Format:Paperback
Wiley and Jeff made nicknames for everyone and their subsitute, Mr. Hughes, which is now their teacher. Charles Rossini, Snoopy, wnted another nickname so they had a bet. But, Cassandra, a new girl came and they couldn't find a nickname for her, so they spent more time getting to know her and they strted liking her and they shared their first broken-heart together and they gve her the nickname, Carrot-top. I agree with the author because this book is funny and I like to give nicknames to all my frieds and because this book is entertaining. Also, he treats all the characters right and he makes them seem real. I would recommend it to my friends because it is a cute, entertaining, and book and the kids in the book are the same age as us.
