My Review

I liked that Frankie had the world's best imagination. In this book there were so many adventures. He had many different characters to play, every time he would play a game in his room. 

One of the funniest things about this book is that his room would get messier and messier, as the book went along. It drove me crazy, to think how messy his room was, that is all I could think about. His mom would come in his room while he was playing and tell him to clean his room. He would just be so focused on the game he was playing he would forget everytime.

He played a super hero, he would play jail, Indiana Jones, doctor. He also used a hockey mask, yellow dish gloves, and he held a shovel pretending he was a soldier.

In chapter eleven their were some really funny parts. He finally comes to the point were he would play a room cleaning game, just to get the job done. He used his imagination so much during this awesome book, I just loved it so much. 

So that is what I liked Frankie Pickle!

P.S. Half of this book was manga (every other page)
