(4) YA Eighth grader Jack Sprigley's "worst fears had come true": puberty hasn't happened yet, and "he was still stranded on Pubeless Island." Watching his friends maturing and starting to date, Jack decides to fake his puberty--on a reality-TV show? The cringe-worthy topic is handled with a light, humorous touch, but the story loses focus toward the end.
