The Burning Questions of Bingo Brown is the tale of a boy in sixth grade. Bingo is in love with three girls and sits behind the class bully, Billy, who is moving in next door. His mother always says that everything revolves around him but his teacher starts to act funny and he starts paying a lot more attention to others. His teacher, Mr. Mark, assigns them to write in journals and throughout the book, Bingo asks all of his questions about life. Mr. Mark gets into a car accident and Bingo finds himself getting much more involved then he would like.
The tale is laugh-out-loud funny. Bingo gets in many everyday situations that are both relatable and hilarious. For example, his teacher asks the class to write papers to his girlfriend so she will not break up with him. It is a ridiculous and fun story to read. I think that middle school children and adults can both enjoy this book.
