The Sixth Grade Nickname Game

By Gordon Korman

Reviewed by Christina C.

This book is about two guys named Jeff and Wiley. Jeff and Wiley give nicknames to people. For instance, their sub’s name is Mr. Hughes, but they call him Mr. Huge.

Jeff’s nickname is Skunk. Wiley’s nickname is Gas Bag, and Charles’s nickname is Snoopy. He’s called Snoopy because he likes to snoop, but he doesn’t like that name. This all happens at a school called Old Orchard Public School..

The author’s purpose is to make people laugh. The nicknames that they give to people are funny and never really mean. Jeff and Wiley both like a girl named Cassandra. Their friendship could be broke. See who gets the girl and what nicknames they try to give her.

This story is so hilarious. It’s my favorite book. I hope you like this book as much as I did.
