The author, Peggy, knows how to keep the book interesting, even while doing everyday things. That's what I like about the way she writes. Though, it would be nice if used harder vocabulary, then it would make the story more interesting. In this chapter, Aaron tells Mr. Peterson that they were late to school because he was busy working on his invention. Mr. Peterson excuses Aaron and Brenna, but holds Hope (the girl) back. He looks at her disapprovingly and tells her that because she was late she has detention for a week. Aaron, Brenna, and Hope all know that the reason why Mr. Peterson gave her detention was because she is terrible at inventing things.
Hope is looked down upon by almost everyone because she can't invent things. Hope thinks that this year she has a great invention, and she is striving to get the respect she wants. She believes that this years invention will make it so everyone will stop treating her badly. It's then that Hope realizes that her potato, which is some how associated with her invention, is missing. Now Hope changes from feeling upset to feeling frantic. Hope dumps out her backpack and can't find the potato. The author states that Hope had to find the right potato that would work with her invention. Another potato may not work. Hope goes to the lunch room and collects a sad looking potato. Hope is concerned that her invention may not work as planned. I predict that Hope's invention won't go as planned, and that she will still be looked down upon. Hope will be embarrassed, and decide to do something unsafe to get respect.
