Bad Berned is badder than you can believe he throws books at people especially Manny. His skin is muddy and creamy like a hippo, he also has the bad breath of a pig who has eaten rotten eggs and milk!! The putrid stench of rotten eel pours from his skin. His hair is a messy nest.

Bad Berned is going to be in the biggest book of records because he is so grumpy, cruel, insane and mean. Did you know Berned is as mean as a magpie!

He owns a book shop named Black Books. However he doesn’t like books or people coming in so he kicks them out! Berned only talks to Manny and Fran.

One dim day Berned was out buying a weeks supply of wine and when he left a student poked his head in and whispered “pssst is he gone?” Manny replied “yes.”  And the student said “Come in every one he’s gone!”  So  every came come in and nearly bought all the books.After everyone left Berned came in and said “ Where are all the books?!”

When Berned yelled at Manny, Manny left and Fran was heartbroken because she had no one to pour her wine!!
