Primary Conflict: Brian Hobble faces two major conflicts in this story: His humiliation for having a big nose, and a race to popularity. About his big nose: He is being called names at school, and is mostly worried about his major crush, Cassandra "Cassie" Wyman. About being popular, he makes excuse notes for everyone in school, jsut so he could get popular. Brian is in a drama act, which makes things worse, more complicated, and humiliating.

Best Part: The best part that happened more than once in the book was when Brian made excuse notes such as missing school, not having detention, etc so they wouldn't be in trouble. The excuse notes Brian wrote were unbelievably lame and funny, but strangely the teachers take the notes seriously. My favorite excuse note was the one where a student pretended to be a top-secret spy.
