I don't understand just yet why no Gnomes are allowed in Dunce. I mean, I can see why mages and things wouldn't be, as some people see magic as evil. But Gnomes don't use magic, do they?
Oh, about the Gnomes. Well, Sewey gets caught be Officer McMason and tries to tell him about the burglar, but McMason doesn't buy it. So then Sewey claims it was a Gnome. He now has a fortnight, (which Bran says is 14 days, and I've wondered what a fortnight is as well) to catch the “Gnome” and prove it. Or the officer will bust a cap and kill him.
In other news, Clarence happens to be alive! This makes me happy. I kind of like the name Clarence. So, I have to keep reading to find out if he dies or not. Either he'll die really epically and it'll be really sad, or he won't die at all. I'm leaning towards that he won't die, at least not in this book, for 1. Because I don't want him to, and 2. Because he didn't die in The Prologue after all, so he probably has an important part to play in the story.
Kaleb said he likes Gnomes because, “They're in my book”. Well, he had to have liked Gnomes before then, and I just wonder what his obsession is with them. I mean, everybody has a favorite something, but what exactly is it about Gnomes that Kaleb really likes? And why isn't the main character of his book a Gnome?
Or is he?

Bran Hambric Chapter 2: Chasing Shadows in the Dark or Where Are You?
So, the creature is revealed. Bran finds out that the monsters name is Shambles. Shambles has come to take Bran somewhere, he says to Bran's mother, who, as we learned in the prologue, died. I also got confused about the actions happening. At the end of the last chapter, I thought Bran jumped off the roof, or at least jumped onto the ladder, and yet Sewey was able to throw him against the chimney just after he jumped out of the way, wherever the heck he jumped. The creature looked similar to a man, but with a distorted face. I was confused if the creature was on all fours or just two. I imagine it looked something like a Zombie. But then Shambles pulls this rope out of nowhere. Okay, so, maybe Shambles had a pocket or something. Was Shambles wearing clothes? Only his face and general shape were described. Well, I guess Bran's clothes weren't exactly described, but I guess we just assume everyone wears clothes in Dunce. But, Shambles is a monster/creature so......I don't know what his body looks like.
Oh, and, I've heard Kaleb Nation read a bit of Bran Hambric on BlogTV, and I just find it funny the way he says, “oh rot!”, which is also a line of Sewey's in this chapter.
So basically after this confusing rooftop battle in which things appear and people are not where I thought they were, Bran and Sewey take off after Shambles, but end up losing him and get pulled over by “Officer McMason”. (Which I also think is funny for Kaleb to say.)

Bran Hambric Chapter 1: Strange Happenings on Bolton Road or The Creature Appears
Kaleb Nation has his own style of writing. I can just see it when I read. His work, as some say, resembles J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. I am not inclined to disagree, however, I do know that there are MANY differences, and few similarities. Oh, Bran's an orphan, and so was Harry. Also, the book has magic. And mages. You know what J.K? You should definitely be suing Kaleb Nation just like that other person tried to sue Stephanie Meyer, because he OBVIOUSLY stole your story. Word from the wise to all you writers out there, if your story contains magic and your main character is an orphan boy, you better throw it out the window because you are using J.K. Rowling's copyrights on boys, magic, and orphans.
In other news, a mysterious creature has appeared on the roof of the Wilomas's. The chapter's in this book seem to be fairly short, at least so far, and so there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Sewey plans to catch a supposed burglar who came to his house by waiting on the roof for him/her. Bran has to go with, just because. Well, because he's an Accident. That's apparently what he's called around Dunce, or at least in the Wilomas house. Oh look, there's ANOTHER Harry Potter similarity! Bran's adopted family doesn't want him. Well, the chapter ends somewhat frightfully, with “the creature” jumping onto the roof and Bran jumping out of the way just in time. Way to build the intensity Kaleb Nation!
Is it even possibly to sue for character similarity?
