Some Friends Are Just Worth Making
For Howard Boward, science genius, making friends in middle school is hard. The other kids have more fun creatively expanding Howard’s name than actually hanging out, as in How-weird or How-Lame. . So, why not actually make a friend? A little wonder putty, some DNA, a few accidentally spilled chemicals and―boom!―instant friend. Monster friend, that is. Franklin ends up being cool in middle school, and he helps Howard climb the uber-popular ladder, becoming How-Cool. But the new fame and friendship isn’t exactly everything Howard hoped. Turns out real friendship might not be so simple, even when you create your own friends from scratch.
Book Reviews (29)
this is about 7th grade genius Howard Boward. He doesn't have any friends so he makes friends. Franklin, the new monster he created is great, but what will he do to keep his secret safe?
This book is mostly about a thirteen year old boy who is not so popular. Until he creates himself a friend/monster out of DNA, silly putty, and a little bit of orange fur. He then soon rises to be almost uber-popular with the help of his new friend/monster Franklin.
