Book Blab @ Stevenson H. S.

Review by Brian G

Brown Period 5

The main conflict in the book Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar is the main character’s struggle through his freshmen year of high school. On his roller coaster ride of a school year many things happen in his life. For example, his mom becomes pregnant throwing his whole family into a frenzy. He is also chasing the girl of his dreams going out of his way to try to talk to her. Finally, when it seems like a thousand things are going wrong for the poor guy, he tries to change his fortune.

One aspect of the book that I found most appealing was that the book was very realistic. Although the book is a fictitious book, all of the problems Scott, the main character, has could happen to anyone. At certain points in the book I was directly given advice on what to do with my life! I really liked how throughout the book many changes occur in the life of Scott. High school truly is a time of change. In the book one example of that is all three of his best friends over the summer and during middle school are no longer friends at the end of the year. Also, the book doesn’t make high school look like the best time of everyone’s life because it’s just not for everyone. I think that everyone can in many ways connect to Scott’s life and high school experience.
