by Daniel Pinkwater. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998.
This book is killer.
This book is (sort of) written in the form of a college essay. Robert Nifkin is a fifteen-year old boy starting high school in Chicago in 1957. He finds school boring and generally horrible, so he starts skipping.
This book is full of humour throughout. Also, it breaks into little sections. You'll read a few chapters and think, "That seems like a good place to stop," then pick up the book another time shortly thereafter.
There are some things in this book I don't agree with, but keep following this blog and you'll learn about those.
