Starting seventh grade can be hard. Especially if you’re
Trevor Jones. Trevor is a worrier and he overthinks everything. When he’s
waiting for the bus, his long-time friend shakes his “cool” by telling him that
he has to ask a girl to the dance coming up before the end of the day. To add
to things on his plate, a documentary film crew has come to Westside Middle
School in order to capture the life of a middle schooler, which could provide
Trevor with the ideal outlet for becoming “cool.” Trying to become popular and
cool, however, is easier said than done. Can Trevor find a date for the dance,
keep his best friend, Libby, and gain popular status?
Readers will enjoy the quirky, fun characters and. the entertaining,
unique notes, id cards, and cartoons throughout the book. The plot is humorous
and well-written. Readers who like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, realistic
fiction, and humor will enjoy reading this book. EL (4-6), MS. ADVISABLE.
