(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Doug Holgate. Fictional blog entries (some that originally appeared in Mad magazine) span Tad's year of comical middle-school mishaps. Tad shares his thoughts on school, shaving, and other events. Filled with random quips ("tater tot is a bad name for a food, because it suggests that you're eating potato babies"), the book reads more like standup than story, but parts are very funny. Black-and-white cartoons illustrate the text.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
