Sleeping freshmen never lie
By: David Lubar
Sleeping freshmen never lie
This book is a novel about a freshman named Scott Hudson who goes through what most freshman go through. He writes that Seniors take his lunch money, Girls forget you and are suddenly beautiful, some of your friends abandon you, and of course you never get enough sleep. So by making high school less overwhelming he decides to make a survival manual. Scott goes through a lot of trouble both at home and at school for example... In the beginning of the book he discovers his mom is pregnant, and that his older brother is coming back to live with him but that's not the least of his problems. At school Scott is always trying to impress a girl named Julia and he ends up joining a lot of activities in order to get to her which was very foolish. Scott goes through a lot of stress his freshman year but learns a lot as well.
All throughout the book in my mind as I read I think.....
Quote from book
"High school", Mouth said, staggering to the side as someone pushed him out of the way. " Here we come. This is going to be great. We're going to rule this place." Wrong Mouth. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. (Lubar 14).
excerpts from the book
Quote
this is one of Scot's written quotes to remember it describes the girl he likes (Julia) and he believes she doesn't talk to him because she can't remember him and that he really likes her because they never talk.
Tip
Located on the back of the book and in it Scott writes to his unborn sibling these tips for High school along with many more.

Supposedly this is a hallway at Zenger High most of Scott's classes are located in this hall.

Content of the book
This book deals with teen's at a high school and of course we all know how that works because the story line is about kids our age. We are all going to deal with some of the things Scott had to deal with Freshman year some of examples would be suicide, bullying, lack of sleep, lack of grades, loss of interest in certain things, and so much more.
Overall
I encourage you to read this book it is basically the life of some of us. It includes problems you may face in high school and how to deal with them. It describes a boy and his best friends and a survival guide to get through high school. (And no it is not a depressing book).
