Pincus, Greg

Middle school is hard for seventh grader Gregory (The 14 Fibs of Gregory K). Realizing that excessive homework doesn't leave time for the things he loves, like creative writing, Gregory goes on a homework strike; as Gregory researches the problem and civil disobedience, he discovers unexpected allies and a clever solution. Pincus has keen insights into early adolescence, and Gregory is a sympathetic hero.

Eleven-year-old Gregory doesn't love math, but everyone in his family does. He yearns to go to Author Camp with his best friend, Kelly. To please his family, he tells a series of lies and then has to fix the resulting problems. Unconvincing secondary characters weaken the plot, but the story might appeal to those who feel they just don't fit in.
