101 Ways to Bug your Parents Book Report

I took "Sneeze" to be a very likeable character.  He is fascinated with technology, enthusiastic, and will do just about anything to reach his goal.  Hiccup, however, is almost the complete opposite of Sneeze.  He is a hypochondriac who worries about any joint, organ, muscle, nerve, and sinus cavity in his body.  He is constantly complaining that he is bound to catch some sort of obscure disease.

Sneeze's classmates were also very interesting. Goldie is an extremely nosy girl, and will listen in on private conversations every chance she gets.  Surprisingly, Goldie seems to be extremely popular.  Most of Sneeze's peers constantly harras him and think that he's a big loser, except for Ace.  Ace is the coolest kid you could meet.  He is calm, quiet, and has a strange air of confidence about him.


Sneeze has an odd tendency to solve problems in a overcomplicated way.  Although this is an important quality to his inventing, this can land him in trouble.  Counting your chickens before they hatch and paying too close attention to the little details are not a good combination.  Sneeze's initial task is to get enough money to go to a science convention.  Rather than just tell his parents his issue, he secretly gets a job at a golf course.  This doesn't pay nearly as much as needed, so he decides to write a book.  Sneeze spends countless hours researching and editing, and make lots of money off of the preorders, but everyone demands their money back when they see that it's just a few peices of paper stapled together.  This goes to show that you shoudn't plan too far ahead.
