#tbt: Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar

Oops! Just realized that I posted this to our learning platform, so my students got to read my #tbt choice, but just found the draft as I got ready to post Middle Grade Monday!

Sleeping Freshman Never Lie by David Lubar. 288 p. Dutton Children's Books/ Penguin Random House, 2005.

Happy Thursday! The sun finally peeped through yesterday and it was partly cloudy today though marred somewhat by poor air quality due to the Canadian wildfires. #tbt features Sleeping Freshman Never Lie by David Lubar. Starting freshman year can be daunting. Scott is on the small and nerdy side and definitely daunted. He has a much older brother who, shall we say, was not exactly academically gifted and his former teachers definitely remember him and have opinions about Scott. He also can't decide which extracurriculars to join and decides to join each one he crush joins. On top of everything, his parents announce that his mother is pregnant and due in June, so Scott starts a journal about coping with freshman year for his soon-to-be sibling.

Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie was an ALA Best Book and Mr. Lubar wrote a sequel, Sophomores and Other Oxymorons: another Novel in 2015. Readers who like to laugh should definitely check out these two books. Happy reading!
