  1. For Your Eyes Only! (FYEO) Written By: Joanne Rocklin

  2. Characters • Lucy, the main character. She’s stubborn but very kind • Andy, Lucy’s enemy. A bully at first but at the end a very sweet boy. • Mr. Moffat, the substitute teacher. He’s into poetry and best teacher ever! (After Mrs. Mancuso) • Gabriella, Lucy’s best friend. She’s very quiet and shy. • The Twins, Lucy’s twin brothers. They always get into trouble!

  3. Settings • The Apartment- Always very hectic, not a nice building • School- Lots of fist fights, very loud

  4. Summary Part 1 When the new substitute teacher, Mr. Moffat, asks Lucy’s class to keep journals, she writes everything, hoping Mr. Moffat can and will keep it all secret.  Lucy writes her real, hardcore feelings about her best friend, her secret love, and her dream to write poetry one day. She also writes about the daily upsets that grind her down-her nasty old apartment building, her griping mother, and Andy, a hostile boy in her class who lives in her apartment complex with his mean stepfather. Andy, on the other hand, doesn't write at all. He just draws jet fighters, explosions, soldiers and mean cartoons of Mr. Moffat and the kids in his class.

  5. Summary Part 2 Lucy wants to write poems like the ones Mr. Moffat puts up on the blackboard each week. But she doesn't believe she can write good verse because Lucy can't see any beauty in her life. Her mother's apartment is so small, Lucy doesn't even have a bedroom. Los Angeles is too smoggy, too full of cars and pollution ---  the sky isn't even blue anymore. In stark contrast, Lucy's dad has a beautiful house in San Francisco, and a gorgeous new wife. But Lucy is so unhappy when she visits them that she can still see nothing good.  

  6. Summary Part 3 Then, one great day, a flock of ducks land in the apartment complex's pool.  Lucy writes all about them, getting super involved in their lives. A change happens with all the kids who live in the complex. Even Andy begins to like the ducks; he starts drawing the flock and scenes of the pond instead of his usual grisly war pictures.  Andy begins writing, too.  And when he does, he tells Mr. Moffat a very big secret.  One so big, it could save his life.   Torpie, Kate.

  7. Text To Text Connection!  This book reminds me of the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. It has a similar layout and characters. They are both diaries also. V S
