YOUNGER FICTION
Van Draanen, Wendelin

Secret Identity

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. Bullied by Bubba Bixby, fifth-grader Nolan Byrd ("Byrd-the-Nerd") creates a website that features photographic and video clip evidence of Bubba's misbehavior. Written in Nolan's conversational first-person voice, this story of grade-school angst and empowerment is written in a generally humorous style, despite a somewhat mawkish ending. Tongue-in-cheek illustrations accompany the breezy text.
