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. Could 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 dins 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 enjoyment.
This novel was a great, humorous novel. I couldn't put it down! It is about Scott Hudson, who is just going into his first year of high school when his mom annouces she is pregnant. With that keeping his mind busy, Scott is also trying to get Julia to notice him. Scott ends up writing for the school newspaper, trying out for the school's musical, and run for student council. If that isn't a lot already, he also has piles of homework to do and can barely get enough sleep at night. But Scott survives his first year of high school, while making some new and unexpected friends along the way.
I would recommend this novel to anybody looking for a hilarious young adult novel. Scott's humor made me laugh out loud many times. His lists he makes for his new sibling are really funny. I gave this novel a ten out of ten because I liked how Scott could make a joke out of even the worst situations. I really enjoyed this novel and will most likely read it again in the future.
