Sleeping Freshman Never Lie


Sleeping Freshman Never Lie is by David Lubar and is 288 pages. Sleeping Freshman is about a freshman named Scott and his journey through his first year in High School. His friendships are put to the test, His brother is in and out all the time, and his parents drop the bomb shell- another baby is going to be introduced to the family. This story is told in a unique way- half is through regular story but told in his perspective and the other is his "diary" ( but of course boys DONT keep girly things like a diary) to his unborn fetal-like sibling. Scott finds highschool life is alot harder than he thought, never getting enough sleep, being picked on t the school bus, becoming a lunch money ATM etc. Scott loves to write and he eventually joins the school paper and ends up writing for the sports page-because of a girl named Julia, he runs for Studet Gonvernment- because of Julia, AND he tries out for a play-because of Julia. Just to be disappointed in the end. He befriends a boy named Wesley and the odd girl out Lee who is daring and unpredictable. Excactly the opposite of what he is. But who knows, maybe they will become a little more than just friends....


I thought Sleeping Freshman Never Lie was an OK book. I mean it was good dont get me wrong, but it was put downable. I found myself just putting it down and doing something else. But it was funny and when you got into it it was a pretty good book. I think this is a good read because the author made it so that both boys and girls can enjoy, which is hard to find these days. Its worth reading but if your looking for a contagious-I-Just-Cant-Put-You-Down-Book, this may not be the one. But its a good read for any middle school/ high school student.
