Book Summary by Patrick

Boy by Roald Dahl

The book Boy was a great book. The book is a biography about his childhood. It was very humorous, because he (Roald Dahl) plays lots of pranks on people. For example his ancient half sister is a lot older than him and gets engaged to a man who smokes a pipe. He pulls a prank on the fiancé when he is swimming; Roald sees goat droppings and he crumples them up. Then he puts it in the fiancé's pipe while he is swimming. Everybody is in on the joke except for the couple. Once the man comes back, he puts the pipe in his mouth and a horrid scene begins; everybody is trying hard not to giggle and there is screaming from the couple.  The doo-doo is inside the fiancé and then the youngest sister starts laughing like crazy and says, "you've been smoking goat's tobacco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Some bad things happen to him, like the cane whacking his buttocks, almost having his nose ripped off, and having his adenoids taken out. It was a great book in many ways.
