     Do you like snakes?  Well I do. And if you like snakes you will like this book. This book will just flip you out of your seat. It talks a lot about snakes. So you just have to read this book.

    Harvey knows that he has a terrible life.  Aunt Mildred makes a lot of commotion.  Aunt Nora is creepy because she thinks she is a wizard.  Georgian hates her brother a lot.

    The setting is at their really big home. It also takes place at their Elementary school. When it happened was in the 1990’s. That’s about when we are right now.

    At the beginning of the story Harvey was disgusted at his sister because he had heard her name about 15 times. So he is excused himself from the table. He kept on saying he had a very terrible life. And then by surprise aunt Nora walked into the house. Harvey got really mad. But the mom and dad got started in a conversation. And then they started talking about school.  Then she started getting really mad.  But she said she would only miss one day of school because it was Friday.  But missing one day of school for them was like missing a 1,000 days of school.  So she said you are going to school whether you like it or not.  And she got really mad at her and she said no. 

     But she did go to school the next day.  Of course she did not like it she got mad.  But after she got done with lunch she got excited because she might be able to take a snake home.  You have to read the rest of the story to find out if she can take the snake home.

    I really liked the story it gives a lot of details. I like it because it tells about the boy’s life.  It tells a lot about snakes.
