More of Punchinello's character: " Punchinello was well pleased with his classic and inventive hole-in-one." The reader is in on this one...good approach: "now his new target, a charismatic buttercup in Room 117, was a mere moment away." I am so encouraged in Cody's ADD. I identify so well: "Cody's mind drifted over to a squirrel he observed scurry down the trunk of an oak tree near the playground in pursuit of a fallen acorn." This gas the spirituality of my Bea the wee bear, nice to see. Moving right to the next ch. A+

A great meandering chapter. Cody wandering off in his mind. Can see the big build up for Punchinello's next conquest. Good work again and no spags. Why do we need more words seeing this was written ages ago.

This is all the more creepy because it's so realistic. It's easy to imagine Cody, the abuse victim, shielding himself. The man with the faucet down his throat and the creep who put him there give me the shivers, mostly because it feels too real.

Hi Brett, This is my first experience with Cody, though I see from your blurb here, you've been writing him for a while now. He seems very well developed. I'm wondering about this golden ticket, but that could be from a previous chapter... I really should go back, it's still early in the book! :)

Hi Brett, this is another well edited new chapter in the story. Poor seems to be constantly in danger and now the danger is lurking within the school halls. The security can't have been very good unless it's a person in the staff. Looking forward to what's next. Ulla:))

More new words, I love it. Apparently the Punchinello character looks as bad as he is, perhaps that's why he is so horrible a person, maybe he was bullied terribly when he was younger, by classmates or family and he internalize his feelings to the point it bubbled over at some point to create the monster he has become, maybe.
I feel the story building to a climatic moment(s). I really like stories that feature layers of story into, on top of the main story of stories. This gets better and better with each chapter, I can't wait until Chapter 7.

So, I'm guessing I'm supposed to know who Earl Anthony Schroder is... last book? :/ And am I reading this right that Punchinello is in the school hallway...? That would not be possible with all the security around schools now, I don't think... :) :) Other than the gruesome beginning (know it's part of the 'Punchinello' motif), a good installment... and what jerks Cody is in class with... :) Yvette

    Earl Anthony Schroder is Cody's biological father, although he never refers to him in that manner. When Cody speaks of him it is always Earl Anthony Schroder and in a very negative connotation. The reasons for this will come out as the story progresses. The "jerks" are typical students in any modern classroom, and kids can certainly be real jerks. Appreciate the review.

    Cool! Mental notes made about the dad...
    You know, I teach and have noticed a slow change in the students' attitudes toward each other with the rise of social media.... there's not much 'physical' bullying anymore - SO MUCH online where 'nobody' sees/hears....
    Take care! ;) Yvette

I enjoyed this chapter with good descriptions of the main character and the monster planning an abduction. The story has a believable feel and good pace to keep interest.

Poor old Cody has had to deal with his own cruel, twisted father, and now somebody even more sinister lies in the shadows, dreaming of inflicting himself on the world, somebody who deserves to be locked up forever, well aware he'll butprn in hell, well done Brett, good scribing, blessings Roy
Typo : Mrs. Alvarez noticed Cody star(r)ed out the window.
