At home, we make glue glasses, glue mustaches, and even glue bouncy balls.
3
Mom is happy to help.

So during art class, I find  the fullest bottles of glue.
5
I tip them over and squeeze.
6
Plooooop! Glue squishes from the orange tips and slops all over.
7
Sequins and googly eyes float  around in a gluey lake.
8
Then it’s time for the most  important decoration… “Geronimo!” I belly flop onto the table and roll around, letting the glue and everything else cover me.
9
“Time to go on the drying rack!” I announce.
10
But when I try to pull myself off the table, I boing right back down!
11
“Too much glue, Matty!
12
Too much glue!” my teacher squawks.
13
This is bad.
14
There’s only half an hour until the end of school, and all I can do is lift my head, wave my hands, and wiggle my feet.
15
The rest of me is a blucky stucky mess!
16
“Can somebody help me?” I call.
17
While my teacher breathes into a paper bag, Noah shouts, “Let’s lasso him!” Izzy, Noah, and Owen get to work.
18
Soon I’m roped from all sides like a rodeo pony.
19
But when they try to pull me out… S N A P !
20
The lassoes break, leaving colorful octopus tentacles everywhere.
21
The glue is too strong, and now I’m a clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
22
“Don’t worry, Matty. We know what to do!” shout Luke and Grace from across the room.
23
“Is that a tow truck?” I ask as they wheel the contraption over and stick a plastic hook into my suit of glue.
24
My friends pull one way and the glue pulls the other – Creak!
25
Click! Creak!
26
Click! – until… KABOOOM!
27
The tow truck explodes and plastic bricks rain all over.
28
Now I’m a clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
29
The school nurse bursts in and checks my temperature.
30
“98.6. Sorry. No fever.
31
I can’t send you home early. ” She dabs and pats me like I’m spilled juice, but the more she blots, the more the glue spreads.
32
Soon I’m a melted mummy, clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.
33
Then the principal comes in.
34
He takes one look at me, sticks a note on my belly, and leaves.
35
Seeing my teacher huffing and puffing like a train gives me a great idea.
36
I whisper it to Hailey and Owen.
37
The final bell rings and everyone freezes – except Owen and Hailey.
38
“It’s the biggest one we could make!” they shout, furiously flapping a huge paper fan at me.
39
Then, just as I’m thinking I’ll be a note-on-my-tummy, melted mummy, clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky glue boy for the rest of my life, my plan works!
40
Something my teacher said could never happen, happens: the glue dries!
41
But I’m still stuck, and now I hear footsteps… The door starts to open… My father and some other carpool parents walk in.
42
Dad comes closer and inspects me.
43
Then he peels me off the table – glue, yarn, bricks, and all.
44
He spins me around.
45
No one makes a sound.
46
Then Dad smiles.
47
“Matty, you’re a masterpiece!” He holds me up for everyone to admire.
48
My friends all cheer.
49
The car ride home is interesting.
50
Mom is speechless when Dad brings me in the house, but he knows just what to do.
51
“Well, kiddo,” Dad says, “some beautiful things only happen once, and this is one of those things.” He gently grips the dried glue in front of my neck and behind my collar – and peels me open like a ripe banana!
52
Now it’s Dad’s turn to glue, and he seals up the sides of the me-shaped work of art.
53
“I bet it would take all the glue in the art room to make a YOU-shaped work of art, Dad!” I say.
54
Dad laughs.
55
Then he glues a big magnet to the back of my project and hangs it on the fridge.
56
During dinner, we sneak peeks at my masterpiece.
57
And after Dinner… …we take the principal’s note very seriously.
58
Please encourage Matty to use tape instead of glue.
59
I like this book a whole bunch because I feel like when I was a kid, I had adults be like “Don’t do that. Don’t do that.” But this kid in this book follows his instincts and he makes a beautiful work of art that his parents appreciate.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
