      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      It's Halloween and that means happy trick or treating! Nothing can go wrong right? Just a fun old holiday. All until a creepy Halloween monster shows up! Will A.J. let this freaky fiend take his treats? Read this book to find out! In my opinion this book is super hilarious! I also think the illustrations pair perfectly with the writing. The only reason I didn't give this book a five star review is the fact that it does not have an incretabaly satisfying ending.
    • 5/5
      This book was part of the flashback series I am continuing but, its a different one! A.J. is excited it is Halloween, and the best part is...... CANDY! He is very excited for this candy, and Halloween, but is not excited with what happens next. With the help of his "gang" he gets the candy he wants, and lives happily ever after- just kidding! Go read the book to find out more on this book! I have two more left in this flashback series!

    My name is A.J. and I hate the L word.

    Do you know what the L word is? I can’t say it. It’s too gross.

    We had just finished putting our backpacks into our cubbies and pledging the allegiance when my teacher, Mr. Granite, went over to the whiteboard.

    It’s time for our Word of the Day, he said as he picked up a marker. Today, our word is . . .

    And then he wrote it on the board in big letters: L-O-V-E.

    Love, said Mr. Granite.

    WHAT?!

    He said the L word! Ugh, disgusting!

    Yuck! shouted Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.

    That’s a four-letter word! shouted Michael, who never ties his shoes.

    "And he said it out loud!" shouted Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.

    Yes, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, said Mr. Granite. "The day of love."

    He said it again! All of us guys were falling off our chairs and choking and gagging and freaking out.

    Boys! said Andrea Young, this girl who is always rolling her eyes.* "I love Valentine’s Day!"

    Me too! said her crybaby friend, Emily, who agrees with everything Andrea says. "I love Valentine’s Day!"

    Can I go to the nurse? I asked Mr. Granite. I think I’m gonna be sick.

    What’s the matter, A.J.?

    "Everybody keeps saying the L word," I told him.

    You mean ‘love’? asked Mr. Granite.

    Ewwwww! I shouted. "You said it again! Help! Call an ambulance! I need to go to the hospital!"

    You’re being silly, A.J., Mr. Granite told me. "I bet you love lots of things."

    Oh, yeah? Name one.

    You love your parents, don’t you? asked Mr. Granite.

    Well, yes, I admitted.

    Of course I love my parents.

    And I’ve heard you say how much you love skateboarding, right?

    I guess so, I admitted.

    "And I know how much you love playing Pee Wee football every Saturday, A.J.," said Mr. Granite.

    Yeah . . .

    I couldn’t argue with that. I do love playing football.

    So there are some things that you love.

    Hmmm. Mr. Granite had a point. I do love my parents, skateboarding, and football. But I still don’t like the
