If you are nice to others they t will be nice to you. When Bradley tried to be nice to others by saying "please" and "thank you" others tried to be nice to him too. I think that Jeff, the new kid, will walk in to the girls' bathroom. Bradley will become friends with Jeff.</

Chapters 1-3 I read about Bradley about meeting Carla and Jeff. Jeff wanted to be friends with Bradley but Bradley refused. Carla, the new school counsilor wanted to be friends with Bradley but Bradley thinks that Carla is weird.

Chapters 4-7 Bradley soon gets lonely and asks Jeff to be his friend. So Jeff invites him over to his house to do home work No said Bradley in disgust so he and Jeff both went to their own houses. One day Mrs.Ebbel asked Bradley to take his mom to a conference Bradley lied and said that his mom was sick but Mrs.Ebbel told him to ask anyway. Bradley went home and said to his mom Mrs.Ebbel wants you to come to a conference but you promised to take me to the zoo that day so you can't go

I am going to that conference

NO

Go to your room

Bradley went to his room and played with his glass animals.

8-11 Bradley's mother went to the parent/teacher conference. She wanted to see the "A" work that Bradley had said he received. When she looked at the board, she discovered none of the "A" work belonged to Bradley. She didn't know that Bradley took his tests home to cut them up. Soon Mrs.Ebbel recommended to Mrs. Chalkers that Bradley should start visiting the school counselor, Carla. Bradley went to Carla's office and didn't talk a lot, but Carla tried to be nice and make conversation. Bradley still did not talk. Soon their time ran out and Bradley had to go back to his class. As soon as he got there, he said to Jeff, "Do you think the new school counselor is weird?" "No, I like her," replied Jeff.

12-15 Collen is planning her birthday party and wants to invite Jeff. She doesn't think it's right to invite seven girls and only one boy. She tries to solve this problem by inviting Jeff's friend, Bradley. The problem is that Colleen does NOT like Bradley. She went to the school counselor, Carla, for advice. Unfortunately, Colleen didn't have the proper forms to get in so she left without getting any advice. On his regular visit to Carla's office, Bradley discussed his friendship with Jeff and about doing homework with him. At the end of school, when Jeff and Bradley were packing up, Bradley tries to convince Jeff to beat up Lori, Colleen, and Melinda just to avoid the girls saying, "Hello" to Jeff. The girls did approached the boys and said, "Hello." Melinda and Bradley get into a physical fight. Melinda pushes Bradley into the wet grass. Bradley runs home crying. When Bradley arrives home, his mom tries to help him feel better by giving him a bath and fresh clothes. He then goes to his room to play with his glass animals, which he loves.

16-19 Bradley goes to class and tries to cover the black Melinda gave him. Ms. Ebbel forced him to take his hand away from his eye. Bradley felt embarrassed. During lunch the next day, Jeff has to go to the bathroom. On the way there, Brian, another student in Jeff's class, asked Jeff to play basketball. Jeff left poor Bradley alone for the rest of lunch. Brian and his gang tease Bradley. Bradley goes home and once again plays with his animals.

20-25 Colleen tried to see Carla again, but her parents refused to sign the permission form. Carla and Colleen had a general conversation about who Colleen was inviting to her party. Bradley went to Carla's office and told her that he punched himself in the eye because he didn't want to admit that he got beat up by a girl. Carla asked Bradley to make a list of things he would be willing to talk about in the future. The other kids tease him about this, but Bradley just added their insults to his list. When his sister, Claudia, teased him about his list, he crumbled it up and threw it away. They fight. As soon a Bradley returned to school other kids stared to tease him. Since he threw his list away, Bradley has nothing to talk about when he went to Carla's office again. He thought of a random topic, monsters from outer space, to discuss and they have a long conversation. Colleen, Melinda, and Lori went together to invite Jeff to Colleen's party. They got into a huge fight because Jeff acted like a bully. Bradley did his homework and acted kind to others so he could get a gold star from Ms. Ebbel. When Bradley returned to school all of Jeff's friends acted mean. As it turned out, Jeff accused Bradley of beating him up. Jeff and Bradley got into a big fight.

26-30 When the boys chased Bradley, he ran into the girls' bathroom. Carla walked in to wash her hands. Bradley poked his head out of the stall. Carla and Bradley talked for a little while in the girls' bathroom. Soon they decided to go back to her office and they talked about Jeff's black eye. When Bradley got home he needed help with his math. His sister helped him. When he went to bed, he stared worrying about his homework. He eventually tore up his homework because he didn't remember if he was supposed to do math or language. Bradley discussed with Carla the reasons he ripped up his work. They talked about Bradley's book report that was due in the coming week. Carla loaned him a book for his report. He reads the book and enjoys it.

31-35 Bradley plays with his animals and reads his new book. Claudia teased him about playing with his animals. They argue. During recess the next day, Bradley reads his new book in the library instead of playing. He goes to Carla's office to eat lunch, but she can't eat with him because she has to go to the principal's office. Bradley was disappointed. He walked back to the cafeteria and read his book. Jeff's friends teased him. All of the sudden Andy asked him to play basketball. This made Bradley feel good. Bradley was not very good. Finally, Bradley made a basket and everyone congratulated him. Jeff and Colleen both went to the Counselor's office because Colleen went into the Boy's Bathroom. Then Colleen got mad at Jeff for telling Carla about the incident. Carla compared this situation to a book. When they left the counselors office they were friends again. When Bradley got home he started playing with his glass animals.

36-40 Bradley went back to Carla's office to talk about a new shower curtain. They talked for a long time about the curtain. He also said he was invited to Colleen's birthday party. Then he started crying because he had never been to a birthday party before. Carla and Bradley started to talk about what happens at a birthday. The next day Bradley and his mother went shopping for Colleen's birthday present so they did not attend the parent's meeting with Carla. At the meeting Colleen's parents were upset that Colleen received counseling without their permission. Other parents felt that a counselor was not needed. Bradley finally finished his book report and Carly congratulates him. They spent a long time talking about the book report and then Carla asks for his help. She needs to move to another school. Bradley got so upset, he left the room and went home.

41-47 At home Bradley was really mad at Carla for having to go to another school. Soon they went to Colleen's birthday party. When he arrived all the girls avoided him until it was time to play games. Surprisingly, Bradley had a lot of fun and he even got to pick a prize from the prize box. After the party he wrote a letter to Carla. In the letter he expresses his thanks to her for everything she has done to help him. He also includes a gift from his heart so that she can remember him.
