Award-winning author Sleeping Freshman Never Lie pens a tale that perfectly captures the ridiculous, tumultuous, and sometimes heartbreaking truths about high school.

“Intelligent, quick-witted, and funny.”—Booklist

“Lubar writes in a laugh-out-loud style about the problems of a teenager figuring out high school. . . A great read for teens looking for a laugh.”—VOYA

Year two should be a total breeze, right?
. . . well, at least you’re not a freshman.

Scott Hudson managed to make it through freshman year . . . barely, and yet, somehow, triumphantly. Now that he’s a sophomore, he’s got it all figured out—after all, he literally wrote the manual on high school survival. But between a tough new English teacher, a school board member who’s out to cut club funding, his undefined relationship with Lee, and new drama at home, Scott’s about to learn a hard truth: NO ONE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT. Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Social & Life Skills Literature & Fiction Difficult Situations Funny Comedy Humor Fiction Bullying & Abuse Bullying

"Amusing, accurate observations about freshman life, from the insecurities of first dates to the dangers of walking the hall between classes." —Booklist

"[A] fresh, genuinely funny picture of an earnest yet hapless teen . . ." —BCCB

As a heads up, I have only listened to a couple of hours of this with my 14-year-old son. But, from what I have heard, we both really like the education you get in grammar and writing that is both fun and exciting. We still continue to point out linguistic errors we notice that came up in the story. This is the first book I have heard of that places an emphasis on writing. He read another story from this author and loved it also. If the setting were an adult one, I would probably enjoy it. I would use a credit on this for your teen, especially if they like books.
