The book is a better than the cover makes it out to be. So far, Eric (known by his peers as Mobe) has been chewed out by the principal for publishing the first volume of Crispy Pork Rinds, a newspaper written by himself and Sarah Byrnes. By standing on the fifth amendment, which means that his answer may tend to incriminate him, he manages to get away with a warning. This escape is thanks to Sarah Byrnes, who was burned as a young child when she tipped a bowl of boiling spaghetti onto herself. Her father only payed to avoid danger, and did absolutely zero reconstructive work. Now, Sarah Byrnes, as Ugly, tough and as smart as a person gets sits silently in a hospital. After hearing about Mobe's hard time with principal Mautz, she says, "I say we get busy with Crispy Pork Rinds Two".
Though the book doesn't relate too much to my life, I'd say that at least I can relate to Mobe being let off with a warning for doing something "so terrible" (according to Mautz).
