The book that I am reading is called Shoebag. The main characters of the story area cockroach named Shoebag (Stuart Bagg ), his mom Drainboard, his dad Under the Toaster, Pretty Soft, Mr. and Mrs. Biddle, the bully Tuffy Buck, Gregor, Madam Grandê de la Grandê. the story takes place at Pretty Soft's apartment, The Beacon Hill Park, and The Beacon Hill Elementary School. The problems of the story are that Shoebag is turned into a human and can't turn back into a cockroach. The end of the story Gregor had a chance of being a cockroach again but he wanted to be a human soo he could be a star so he had gave Shoebag a formula from his dream when he was a roach and Shoebag turned back into a cockroach with his family. I think this is a nice book and it is very funny and the author makes it seems so realistic.
