(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jason Week. While trying to be popular and win the race for "class marshal" of the school Halloween parade, ten-year-old Louie, "Boy Used to Ridicule and Put-downs" (B.U.R.P), is bullied and nearly forgets his true friends. Louie is a sympathetic character, and gross-out humor and cartoon illustrations will appeal to the intended audience; references to old comedians (Chaplin, Keaton), however, may puzzle those readers.
