Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my...
Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my... | Adam Mansbach, Alan Zweibel
5 posts | 2 read
Dear Mr. Franklin, First of all, let me just say that this Assignment is Stupid. You are Dead. Why am I writing a letter to Some dead guy I've never even met? This is the start to a most unlikely pen pal relationship between thirteen-year-old Franklin Isaac Saturday (Ike) and Benjamin Franklin. Before the fateful extra credit assignment that started it all, Ike's life was pretty normal. He was avoiding the popularity contests of middle school, crushing hard on Clare Wanzandae and trying not roll his eyes at his stepfather, Dirk-the-Jerk's lame jokes. But all that changes when, in a successful effort to make Claire Wanzandae laugh, Ike mails his homework assignment to Ben Franklin...and he writes back. Soon, things go awry. After Ike has an embarrassing moment of epic proportions in front of Claire involving a playground, non-alcoholic beer, and a lot of kettle corn, Ike decides he needs to find a way to win Claire back. With some help from his new friend, B-Fizzle, can Ike get the girl and make his mark in history?

Right now I am so so so pissed. The us mail is a joke. I went to mail my #summersantgoespostal and get told I can't mail it Book rate because it rattles (okay that one I actually know but I had to try). Then I have these small prize envelopes to mail out for #booklove17 (found some I forgot to mail sooty guys) and they were already stamped and ready to go and I got told I had to add more postage. WTF. I get told something new every time. ⬇️

LibrarianRyan First photo challenge I was told I had to use a specific size enevelope or it costs more (even though this was a pretty standard card size. Second photo challenge I was told enevelope could not be wider than 1/4 and inch while I watched the hand feed every enevelope through this little slot. $.40 extra on all of those. Now I just mailed some long lost bookmarks and got told because the contents are not uniform in size it's and extra $0.21 each. ⬇️ 8y
LibrarianRyan For book marks. I tried to tell the lady I already sent over 40 of the dang things. No I didn't get any of them back. And unless you all have not told me no one had to pay to pick their up. If this is the case and you had to pay for something I sent you please PM me and I will reimburse. This is why so many businesses do t use the post office. Ughhhhhhhhhhhjjjhjj👿👹👿☠️ 8y

LibrarianRyan @Captivatedbybooks all post offices should have the same rules. Plus these people see me often enough. It just kills me because I mailed over 40 already no problems. But these last 5 there are problems. And I have another 40+ things to mail the end of this week. There is a reason the us post office has a bad rep. The person who delivers to me is excellent but the desk people are not. 8y
Smangela Ugh how frustrating!! 8y
LeahBergen 😠😠 8y
NovelGirl82 Ugh! I hate dealing with them. I actually drive to one further away from my house for people that are easier to deal with. 8y
Kaitlyn.keith.529 The one in our town is good but some friends of ours who live about 20-30 minutes away have an awful post office. They drive all the way to ours to mail things out instead of going to their local one. 8y
maich @Kaitlyn.keith.529 I do the same. Our small local post office have unfrienlly people, open are only 2hours every day... I drive into the town where is big post office open the whole day. And people are very nice. 8y

Sorry. Reading this book is like being forced to watch a documentary on photosynthesis. It isn't what you want. The idea is so-so but the writing is horrendous.

Don't read it. Burn it.
