Memoirs of a Sidekick

(4) 4-6 In his quest for popularity, seventh grader Boris, with his "sidekick" and only friend Adrian, campaigns tirelessly for student council president with one hare-brained scheme after another. Adrian's narration keeps the reader at arm's length and renders the pair more pathetic than sympathetic, but moments of wry humor will appeal to middle-school readers looking for lighthearted laughs.
