It feels like just yesterday Carter was enjoying the summer
of eighth grade, riding bikes and swimming in the Merrian Pool with EJ. But
before he knows it, Carter is catapulted into a world of sex, lies, and hallway
fights. Even with advice coming at him from all directions, his big mouth still
manages to get him into some humiliating situations. Carter will charm (and
stutter) his way through awkward moments, vicious fights, and teenage
victories. And maybe between the fog of his ADD clouded mind and the tender
bruises of organized sports, even Carter will learn something about life. It’s
hard to find books that give a truthful perspective of a high school experience,
but I think Brent Crawford told it well. This is a hilarious view into the
meaningful and sometimes disturbing thoughts of an average high school boy.
