There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom

“Give me a dollar or I’ll spit on you” that sums Bradley Chalker up. The beginning of the story starts at a point where there’s a mean boy called Bradley Chalker, he’s the bully. He scribbles on his work in class, he spits on people, he has been held back a grade (It’s set in America) and there’s a new boy called Jeff Fishkin, however how does Bradley react to someone liking him, no-one has ever liked Bradley Chalker!


-Lewis

There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom is a great book to read if you enjoy humour and a bit of sadness. Also, Bradley (one of the main characters ) is a naughty but really hilarious character. Furthermore, the author is the author who has written Holes so that means you know it’s going to be good.

The book is based on this boy called Bradley. Bradley acts like a bully but inside he is all soft and generous because at school he threatens people whereas at home he plays with his animal toys. He comes across this boy called Jeff Fishkin and he was his friend and he use to obey a bit but  now they’re not friends anymore.
The author Louis Sachar also wrote a best-selling book called Holes.

Our First Book



The first book we are reading as a book group is "There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom" by Louis Sachar.


"Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you." That's Bradley Chalker for you. He is the oldest child in the class. He tells enormous lies. He picks fights with girls, and the teachers say he has "serious behaviour problems." No one likes him - except Carla, the new school counsellor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is believing in yourself.
