This is a Young Adult novel.
To complete a not-so-epic first day of High School, Scott's parents tell him they are expecting a baby. Scott decides to give his little brother a heads-up about the issues of high school by writing a guide book to assist his brother as he tackles things like loosing friend, confronting bullies, and most importantly talking to girls.
Sleeping Freshman Never Lie is the type of book parents want their kids to read. It has very little cursing, positive adult role models, a be-yourself message, and a smart protagonist who loves books and learning. And, I suspect, it is the type of book a lot of young teens would like because of it's humor and honestly. High School is tough for Scott - not the school work, but the social aspect, and he doesn't mince words about it. For that I give it one more <insert your favorite noun> than I would based on my personal opinion and I will be ordering it for our library. So, it gets a 3 out of 5.
