Highly recommended!

Review by Mila

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to get a good laugh. Yehudi tries to do sports, but keeps getting injured. Chunky is his imaginary friend and fan. When Yehudi tries to fit in with new friends, he hurts Chunky's feelings. I learned that we should do the things we are good at that make us feel good, and not pretend to be someone we are not. That's how we keep our fans rooting for us.

Chunky

Review by Bunnybox

I think this book was really good, and it showed Hudi’s perseverance. Chunky was a good add on to the emotion in this book.

Review by TaylorSwift21

I liked how the main character tried a bunch of sports but ended up in theater. Overall, it cracked me up.

NOT A GOOD BOOK

Review by hamaayan

I did not like it because it showed very violent scenes. The only good thing is that Hudi never gave up.
