Elise is having a hard time in her life. She is just starting middle school and in the first twenty minutes she already gets embarrassed. She get’s embarrassed by having scabs all over her legs, an example from page 9 is, “Oh, gag. I have to share with the Bloody Queen of Scabs” this is what a mean girl in school said when she found out that she has to share a locker with Elise. I think it was really hard for Elise because after the girl said that Franklin came over and said she got all the scabs while playing pretend Knights.
