Can Howard SURVIVE life without friends?

Awesomeness book
By dmfbm
The kid in the red jacket is one of the best books I have ever EVER read. It is funny, sad and happy. It was happy when Molly Vera Thomphson was trying to make friends with Howard Jeeter. It is funny when Mr.Jeeter started telling him how to make friends. It is sad when I found out that Molly's parents didn't want to keep her when they got divorced. I think Barbara Parks should continue writing fun and great books. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BARBARA PARKS!
