Sleeping freshman never lie...A Novel by David Lubar
Freaks and bullies,
ridicule and romance,
homework and home havoc...
Starting high school is never easy. Seniors take your lunch money. Girls you've known forever are suddenly beautiful and unattainable. And you can never get enough sleep. Can there be a worse time for Scott's mother to announce she's pregnant? Scott decides high school would be a lot less overwhelming if it came with a survival manual, so he begins to write down tips for his new sibling. Meanwhile, he's trying his best to capture the attention of Julia, the freshman goddess. In the process, Scott manages to become involved in nearly everything, from auditioning for the school play to running for student council to writing sports columns for the school paper. While he tries to find his place in the confusing world of high school, win Julia's heart, and keep his sanity, Scott will be recording all the details for his sibling's---and your---enjoyment.

This is a funny yet so genuine novel. This will keep you hooked and you don't want to stop reading it. It will cause you to smile and laugh at what happens, groan and turn red at what he does, or shock you beyond your words.
So, here's the thing? You up for it?
Reasons why you should read it:
1) If you are entering high school, this will give you a preview of high school. OR if you're already in high school, you can laugh at the unrealistic, yet genuinity of this novel. It is true, yet libel at the same time. Which one is it? You pick.
2) You will be missing out. Here, it is about this guy, Scott Hudson, who does everything for this girl, which actually benefits him a lot more than he thinks. You will be getting tips and learn how to express yourself in the horrors of high school. (dramatic pause)
3) I just think you should read it. It's not a chick flick (or in this case a girly book -- which I believe is SO sexist ---I mean, who says a guy can't read a girl book? COME ON! ---anyways back to the topic:). It is experiences of a lifetime. Once you read this, you will feel pumped. YOU will feel like you can do EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING (which I'm afraid to announce might just last a few hours ---depending on how determined you usually are =D).
So, what are you waiting for? Get this book at any library or find it in a bookstore. Note: You don't have to buy a book to read --- you can borrow from a friend, teacher, library (or anywhere else as long as it isn't stealing! =D). I'll leave you to the possiblities.
