3.0

Sam has to start acting “mature” if he wants to get his driver’s license and get his parent’s to leave him home alone while they go away for a few days. But being “mature” is harder than it seems. Every time he tries to do the right thing it backfires. His girlfriend, Martha, seems to attract trouble. He works for J. Earl, an odd novelist in town, who attracts trouble in his own way. His teacher, Mr. Tegwar, seems to make life hard for him just for fun. It goes on and on.

This book was a fun look at the mind of a 15 year old kid living in Canada who is really just trying to make things go his way with the best of intentions.
