Lubar, David. SLEEPING FRESHMAN NEVER LIE

A laugh-out-loud novel about surviving freshman year in high school. Scott Hudson uses a series of journal entries to his unborn baby brother, who he has nicknamed “Smelly,” to give tips and advice about everything from avoiding bullies and seniors to why you should not join the wrestling team. (“Two things get rubbed on that mat, butts and faces. This can’t be good for my complexion.”) This sure-fire hit from David Lubar will fly off your shelves.
