Hello, Readers! Sorry for the huge delay in my blogging, but thank you for staying with me! I've been busy helping my human get his school year started, so I'm a little behind in my reading, but REALLY behind in my blogging! What's a dog with a blog to do?!? Well, now I'm going to try and catch up - with the blogging, mostly, because I have been reading! You just wouldn't know it because I haven't put my paws to the keyboard in a while...
To start the new school year my human and I read How to Survive Middle School - great choice for the start of the year, right? Author Donna Gephart is a really good storyteller, and one my favorite books of hers is Lily and Dunkin. Surviving middle school is the story of David and his hamster, Hammy, who are becoming famous because of David's videos he makes and posts to YouTube, modeled after the real Jon Stewart. Stewart is a comedian who created The Daily Show, before it was taken over by Trevor Noah. Anyway, David is trying to survive his first year of middle school with the usual ups and downs, like bullies, crushes, family issues, fitting in, puberty...all the great stuff middle schoolers go through in life. Gephart tells a heartwarming story with humor and sensitivity, and How to Survive will make many of you laugh out and possibly shed a few tears.
This is the third or fourth book I've read by Gephart, and I've enjoyed all of them, just some a little more than others. This is one of her stronger books. If you like Gordon Korman give this title a try - you'll probably like this, too! 4 paws!
