Sleeping freshmen never lie

Praises….
"Fresh, funny and perfectly plausible as a demonstration of various writing exercises for classroom use, but only if you like laughter." - Kirkus Reviews
"Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie is a recommended read for those searching for laughs and a genuine voice in young adult literature." - Rebecca Aicher
"Lubar's language use and writing style are deceptively simple. The teen's physical and emotional tumult is as clear, familiar, and complex as high school itself." - Johanna Lewis, New York Public Library
