Why I Hate School is by Kris Stanhope with 147 pages.

How are the main characters?
Michael Fartasky and Sharon Cramshaw are the main characters. Michael is the boy who hates school. He has 243 reasons why he is hating school and is still counting. Sharon is the teacher's pet and Sharon is the one who shows Michael what’s good about school.

What is the story line?
Michael has his own diary on why he hates school. He has a section G- for girls and other sections for why he hates school. Michael hates both school and Sharon Cramshaw and he wants to discover why he hates them so much. 

How easy was it to get stuck into the book?
I found it really easy to get stuck into the book because it was really funny and greatly written by Kris Stanhope.

What is my recommendation...
For people aged 8-11 for girls and boys. Also for people who don’t really like school or for people who like school as well.

My rating: 4/5
