New high school freshman Scott Hudson takes us through the ups and downs of his 1st year of high school. The unexpected is thrown his way: a new baby brother, friends moving away, his old kindergarten friend turns gorgeous, suicide attempt by the "weird" kid, etc... and the expected from any book about a high school freshman: getting hassled by upperclassman, money stolen by upperclassman, beat up by upperclassman, etc...
Overall I would give this book a rating of 6/10. Why?
I felt this book lacked a strong plot and seemed a little predictable. We all know that any book about a high school freshman will have everything that could go wrong... go wrong. But on the up side... This book certainly was witty and humorous. Who wouldn't laugh at a kid who runs for office because his crush is running for president only to find out he gets a spot on the council but his crush losses. And then after he quits, the president quits, and so his crush is president! Ahhhh... very entertaining...
Bottom-line? It's a quick, easy read suitable for middle school - college students.
