Query: Tedious Bickering

I don't have a problem with with occasional bad or outrageous behavior. It makes a story funny and interesting. But these books feature pages of tiresome, predictable, unimaginative bickering: between bully Max and classmate Chloe, between Freddy and his sister. I especially dislike the unidimensional characters: Bully, Rich Girl, Brain, etc. This book also had teasing about girlfriends and such - do we really need to get into that?
