Masterpiece

     Around the end of the summer I started to read a book called Masterpiece by  Elise Broach.  It is a book about a child who has his birthday and the whole party wasn't that great.  At the end of the party his dad who does not live with them anymore comes and gives him a present.  The present is some paper and a box of drawing materials.  His mom doesn't think that this is a good present because he is young and his dad is an artist that isn't that good though.
     But he is only one of the main characters.  Really the main character is actually a little bug.  He is a bug that lives with his family underneath the sink.  They are trying not to be discovered by the family that lives in the house.
     The night of the birthday the bug went up to the room of the son to give him a birthday present.  But he got caught up in his own world using the kids present from his dad to draw.  In the morning the mom discovered this drawing and she was so amazed that she told him to draw more.  But it was actually the bug and he has to live a lie.
   I think this is kind of a weird story and it is a little childish but I kind of like it and I want to know how this book is going to turn out in the end when I finish it.
