Happyface
by Stephen Emond
Happyface Review (10/8/2018)
This is a spectacular story, “Happyface,” because it has an interesting plot and really cool characters. It’s about a teenager (Happyface) leaving his home to go to somewhere else, Crest Falls. Happyface is affected by his mother and father’s divorce, so he only lives with his mother. They live in an apartment, and eat pizza and chinese food everyday. He starts a new life in a different high school then he’s used to, and on the way he remembers his past that he couldn’t before. Happyface’s former best friend comes back in an interesting plot twist.

Happyface’s characters are overwhelming, as in a good way. Happyface first is a control freak, but he is really kind and not really aware. Chloe is really cool and really good with anything and loves Happyface, but she isn’t admitting it. Everett is really annoying, and gets away with everything. The dad is okay with almost everything except his mother’s marriage. His mom tries her hardest to keep her son save and sound in their apartment, and to get good grades. My absolute favorite character is Happyface no matter what because whenever he does something someone different does something that affects him.
