a girl.  The Theme of Donuthead is friendship because they both help each other.  I would give this fiction book 4 stars because it is about finding dreams.  I would recommend this book to my brother Peter.

Donuthead is about an unlikely friendship between fifth graders Franklin Delano Donuthead and Sarah.  Franklin is a caution freak while Sarah is tough.  As they help each other they wind up beating their shortcomings.  I really liked when they went to the farm because it was funny how Franklin held out his hand after the cow licked him.  The
theme of Donuthead is accepting who you are.  I saw this because Franklin and Sarah want to be normal.  I think this book deserves 4 stars.  It had a lot of great details.  I think my mom would like this book because I think she would laugh a lot.

Donuthead is about the unlikely friendship between fifth grade Franklin Delano Donuthead and Sarah Kervick.  They help each other in several   ways, and wind up overcoming their fears.  I really liked when they were playing baseball because it was one of the most important events, and it's when Donuthead starts becoming normal.  The theme of the book is friendship.  I think it is hard to believe how two opposites can become friends.  I give this book 3 stars.  It was a
great book although I still wonder why it ended too soon.  I think that my brother should read it because I think that he feels for people like Donuthead.

Donuthead is about the unlikely friendship between Franklin Delano Donuthead and Sarah Kervick.  Franklin is a super caution freak and Sarah is super tough.  They help each other overcome their differences and become friends.  I really liked when Franklin and Sarah were skating on ice together.  That was when they really made friends and got their
dreams.  I think that the theme of this book is finding dreams and accepting yourself like Franklin and Sarah both had a dream to be normal.  I would give this book five stars.  It was funny and a great book to read.  I recommend this book to anyone that has a dream.

Donuthead is about the unlikely friendship between 5th grade Franklin Delano Donuthead and Sarah Kervick.  Franklin is being super cautious while Sarah is super tough.  They help each other in several ways, and wind up overcoming their fears.  I really like this book because it shows you that if you are mean you won't have any friends and if you are a caution freak everyone will pick on you.  The theme of the story is to accept who you are and don't pretend that you are something that you aren't.  I'll give this book 3 stars because I wanted a different ending.  I recommend this book to Judy Blume.

This amazing story is about a guy named Franklin Delano Donuthead and a girl named Sarah Kervick, and they each have a dream, but something is holding them back.  I like the part of the story when Donuthead got licked by a cow and he would he would die.  If that was me I would not be scared, but I would wash my hands.  Since this is a funny story I think my grandma will like it.  She will like this book because she enjoys humorous stories.  I think that I will give this realistic fiction book 5 stars, because it is so exciting.
