When Tuan Nguyen and his family move from Vietnam to America, Harvey Trumble knows that him and Tuan will be best friends! Harvey teaches Tuan english, and how to use a fork, and things are going great, untill Harvey makes a choice for the worse. They get caught TPing the pig statue by the police. Tuan starts to think that maybe being Harvey's friend isn't a very good idea, and he befriends Quint, Harvey's enimey. I would tell you more, but i think you should read the book. I would reccomend it to kids who like books about friendship! Happy reading!

Do you like books about young people meeting other people from other countries? Reading Jamie Gilson Hello, My Name Is Scrambled Eggs will help you do just that. The main character, Harvey, and his family had to bring a family from another country in their home. The family that had to live with Harvey and his family were a family from Vietnam. He was so happy to have someone of his own age living with him. Harvey had to bring him to his school, and there the boy would have to go to school everyday. The boy becomes a good friend with Harvey. Harvey would help the boy speak better English. What I enjoyed about the book was when Harvey would teach the boy about English on the computer. Another part of the book that I enjoyed was when Harvey started to become better friends with the boy and his family. I think someone should read this book if someone was interested in seeing how it is like to have someone from another country living with him or her and what they were going through. I also believe that if someone was to being someone into his or her home, that person should participate in the family's beliefs. The person should also participate in activities that the family enjoys. Harvey helped the boy very much to understand the English language. The boy would also participate in the activities that the Harvey's family had done with him. The boy liked where he lived as well as Harvey having a new friend living with him. I would also let someone from another country live with my family and I do understand what it would be like to live in a different place.

Hello my name is scrabbled eggs is about a Vietnamese family comes and lives with Harvey Trumble and his family. The Vietnamese family comes to America because they are trying to stay away from the Vietnam War. There is a kid Harvey's age in the family and his name is Tuan Nguyen. Some things in America are new to Tuan, like a hair dryer, Tuan thinks it's a gun. He also thinks that hot dogs are really made out of dogs. My favorite part in the book is when they T.P. they town pig (statue) and get caught and Tuan has to figure out if he still wants to be friends with Harvey or not. If you want to find out if he does read this book.

This story was about a family from Vietnam and Harvey Trumbles family is trying to help them figure their way around America to see how they pay their bills. Harvey is trying to help the familys son, Tuan Nguyen, Tuan is going to school with Harvey and he is trying to help him find his way through it. Harvey showed Tuan how to write letters speck English, and shows him how to eat at lunch. Until the end of the book, Tuan is now able to do all that things that Harvey can do. Therefore, whatever Harvey does or wherever he goes Tuan is always behind him.

Elementary school age children help a Vietnamese child become American. The youngsters display remarkable insight and empathy for the newcomer. From putting up labels to teach English to showing respect for Vietnamese culture, the author and his characters excel. Adults could learn much from this book for children.

This story takes place in 1985 at Zito`s house. Quint was his best friend. He always ate breakfast over there. He always carried a marble with him and they go to school and when they come home he had to eat dinner over Zito`s house. So they go and have fun eating stuff.

This story is mostly about two boys that always make jokes all the time about scrambled eggs. And is a story about food all they eat. Then Zito lost his marble and he said that Quint stole his marble but Quint did not take it. He told the teacher that Quint stole the marble that he liked so they started to yell at each other. Then school was out so they went home then Zito said he was very sorry. He said that he left the marble at his house so they became friends again

In my opinion this story was not that bad it was kind of boring but it was good not awesome but who cares about marbles and eggs.
