The Boy Who Failed Show and Tell by Jordan Sonnenblick
2.0
This story did make me laugh, and was easy enough to read. It was also a really good look at why some kids act out, and how there is always a story.
Caveats: I had no idea what time period this book took place in until it talked about the 1979 World Series. Then I realized it was historical fiction. Also, this book has some sexist opinions about mothers and what they "should" be doing that aren't really addressed. I get that it's "normal" in a way, but I didn't like that the dad seemed to be constantly harping on the mom to stay home.
