My Life as a Book by Janet Tashjian

4.0

I read this book shortly after "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and was struck by how similar they were in structure. The difference...this book has a very likable character, who is also very relate-able. He's got a lot on his plate and tends to get in trouble, but through the course of one summer learns a lot about life. The book has some great teaching moments and a lot of topics are addressed, like being accepting of kids with special needs. It's not all wrapped up nice and neat in the end, but the character definitely shows growth. And it made me laugh!
