| Publisher Description: Joe Bunch breaks down his life--and his secrets--for a school assignment in this second book of the funny, heartfelt, and beloved Misfits series by Bunnicula author James Howe. What can I say? I'm a total original. Joe may only be twelve-going-on-thirteen, but he's known who he is from the time he was a little kid tottering around in his mother's high heels. Now in the seventh grade, he wears green high tops with pink trim, has a (secret) boyfriend, and tells it all from A to Z in the alphabiography assigned by his favorite teacher. The thing is, some of it is seriously private. It's one thing for Mr. Daly to read it, but what if it falls into the wrong hands? Will he be teased forever about those high heels...and even worse, what will happen if his secret boyfriend is no longer a secret? |
