Sleeping Freshman Never Lie
By David Lubar
“You know what guys do? They stand up for people. You know why? Two reasons. It's right. And it feels good. Even if the person doesn't know what you did. Maybe especially then.” ―David Lubar, Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie
The struggle of high school
High school is always a hard time for underclassmen. Scott is starting his freshman year and ready for a good year. But, there's a few things in the way of letting that happen. He is in love with the goddess of the freshman class. Seniors bully him. He is a nerd for his use of vocabulary. His mom is pregnant. What else could go wrong?

What people are saying about this incredible book.
"A fresh genuinely funny picture of an earnest yet hapless teen...A solidly enjoyable read sprinkled with laughs, puzzles, a few groans, some oh-I-get-it nods, and generally good geeky fun throughout." -BCCB
"Lessons are learned, humor mixed with sadness is prevalent, and the bittersweet year comes to a satisfying end for both the reader and Scott." -VOYA
This is a picture of one of the pages of tips inside Scott's notebook. (not a diary.) He's is writing a survival book to give to his younger brother once he is born and gets to high school so he never has to go through the things he does.
Scott is head over heals for the freshman goddess, Julia. He goes to extremes such as writing newspaper columns, theater, student council, just to get her attention.
On top of what Scott is going through, his home life has it's difficulties as well. His older brother is caught in jail for not paying rent so he comes back to live with them. He is a major troublemaker and Scott is not looking forward to him moving back.
