Melonhead In the novel, Melonhead,By Daniel De Guzman. Sidney is a 12 year old boy that is caught up between two of his divorced parents. Sidney decides to run away. He decides to travel across the country to get from Seattle Washington, to New York City. On the way he meets new people and learns different lessens from all of them. I like this book because it teaches me new lessons. One lesson I learned from the book was a man that Sidney meet on the bus named Moses Longfellow. He taught Sidney to always conceal his money in a safe place. In the book Sidney got mugged by some older kids and they stole his money. Luckily he kept $50 in his underwear. To this day I still keep money in a secret place just in case. In the book I also like how the book keeps you wanting to read more. I hope you like the book.

I, for one, am glad that Sidney T Mellon was born with such a large head. Sidney needs that extra room to store his in-depth thought processes (and dual identities), his witty and articulate dialogue, and in order to maintain such a well developed sense of self and humanity. I loved this book. I have given it to friends (young and old) and they have all been touched by Sidney's sense of humor and his pain. Everyone has been inspired by his journey. That was one cross country trip (and book)I didn't want to see come to an end.
