My Life as a Book by Janet Tashjian
4.0
This was a quick read--finished in less than 24 hours! I'm doing this as a Book 'n Breakfast book over summer break (at lunch time, so it's been renamed Chew 'n Chat!) and I wanted to make sure I had a chance to read it beforehand. I'm very glad I did. Students will definitely recognize the character of Derek, whether in themselves or in friends/classmates (I've taught a few "Dereks" over the years!) and will definitely be able to connect with him.
While the illustrations were a bit distracting for me, I can absolutely see how young readers would both enjoy and appreciate them...and I love that the book is a collaboration between author mother and teenage-son illustrator. :)
This book has become very popular with students at my school and I'm glad I now know what the buzz is about--would enjoy giving the other "My Life as..." books a go, and would definitely recommend this book to student readers.
