Book is that the Herdmans wanted to be in a Christmas pageant. A few character traits I found in this novel is the Herdmans are mean and disrespectful. My fovorite character in the story is Imogene Herdman because she is cool. We are going to read the sequel to this novel The Best (worst) school year over break. I'm looking foward to reading this book because it looks like a interesting book. I think this book was good because it has kind of a lesson In it. If I could have one of the Herdmans as my friend it would be Imogene because she is unique.
