The chalk man book review5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The other difference between the children of my youth and this story, is that Eddie’s little group finds the body of a dismembered young girl in the woods, and the most exciting thing my friends and I ever found was a pornographic book hidden in an old shack in the woods. Although, I would like to point out that there is a unique rhyming opportunity here and obviously the kids in her school were not as imaginative as my own. Nicky is the token girl and therefore doesn’t appear to warrant a nickname. Metal Mike, Hoppo, and Nicky complete their band of twelve-year-old buddies, thick as only the per-pubescent and thieves can be. The Chalk Man features elementary school children as well, all with nicknames. The only nickname I had that ever stuck was the unfortunately catchy rhyme of “Carole the Barrel,” coined during the plump years of my early elementary school. Okay, this time I wasn’t going to be fooled by initials into reviewing a book that was really written by a dude. ![]()
