The name of the book I am reading is called Shoebag by Mary James.The main characters in the book are Shoebag, Pretty Soft. This story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts. The problem in the story is that Stuart Bagg on his first day of going to Beacon Hill Elementary School he gets made fun of because he wore a pair of Pretty Soft boots because he did not have a pair of boots of his own.After their first class they went to lunch,when they went to lunch Tuffy Buck cut in front of him then he told the people that were behind him to come in front of him because Tuffy Buck said,''Stulla Bagg does not care if we cut in front of him.''Gregor Samsa was a cockroach and he told Stuart Bagg how it was when he was a cockroach and wherehe was born and what he's name was when he was a cockroach..feel like it was a funny book to read .
