If I could change one scene in the book, it would be:
Cam: When Alice and Charlie see the principal working out. It was so weird.
Harry: The same scene. I would change it so that the principal was trying to punch dead animals.
Ben: I would change the part where they describe Polly's dead body.
Cam: Charlie. Because he made a mixed up pie that ended up winning the Blueberry Award.
Harry: I would want to be the owner of the LARDO company because he's rich and got the recipe.
Ben: Lardo. Because he gets all of the tuna and sardines that he wants. It's cool that he gets all the food that he wants.
Harry: The same scene. I would change it so that the principal was trying to punch dead animals.
Ben: I would change the part where they describe Polly's dead body.

My favorite character is:
Cam: Lardo is awesome and a mystery. You don't know what force he has.
Harry:Lardo because he reminds me of Garfield.
Ben: Aunt Polly because her pie making skills are very valued in this age.
The character I wouldn’t want to bake a pie with is:
Cam: I wouldn't want to make a pie with Alice's mother because her pies look like dog vomit.
Harry: Alice's mom because they look and taste terrible.
Ben: I'm saying the same thing.
Harry: Alice's mom because they look and taste terrible.
Ben: I'm saying the same thing.
Were you confused by anything in this book?
Cam: Nope. It all cleared up by the end.
Harry: I was confused by how good friends Charlie and Polly were and Charlie ended up marrying Nora.
Ben: I was confused by how nice Polly was. I think it was a little obnoxious. I found it unrealistic.
Harry: I was confused by how good friends Charlie and Polly were and Charlie ended up marrying Nora.
Ben: I was confused by how nice Polly was. I think it was a little obnoxious. I found it unrealistic.
The one character I would want to be happy forever is:
Cam: Alice, because her aunt died, her cat died, her parents died and she didn't marry, like Aunt Polly.
Harry: I can't say Alice, because she already is happy. Lardo because he wasn't always happy.
Ben: Lardo. Happy in Cat Heaven.

If you were absolutely amazing at something, what would it be? Would you keep it a secret?:

Harry: ESP. I would keep it a secret and become a superhero.
Ben: Awesome dance move. I would keep them a secret. I'd put myself on YouTube with my face blocked out.
