YA
Word nerd Scott Hudson (Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie) returns, confident that his brains will see him through sophomore year. Demanding teachers, the school newspaper, and other dramas knock him down a few pegs as he continues to record his observations for his baby brother and to be wishy-washy in his almost-relationship with Lee. This novel's humor should appeal to cerebral teens.
