Über dieses E-Book

All cynical Kyle wants is to get through the seventh grade unnoticed, but a self-help book from his well-meaning mother changes all that. Magically, the book seems to know all about him. And it wants him to improve his life.

Not only is he friendless, mistakenly taking super-difficult accelerated courses, and infamous for allegedly being involved in a violent "incident" on the bus (a rep that has the school terror sticking to him like glue), one of the true A Kids wants to lure him into questioning whether his class cheated on their state exams. How could a book help anyone through this kind of misery?
 

Autoren-Profil

Gail Gauthier writes in a spacious room her family refers to as "the office," but which everyone else knows as "the cellar." When she isn't writing or indulging in her habit of reading more than one book at a time, she tends to the business of running a family. She does a lot of "mom-type" stuff (such as masterminding birthday parties and driving unenthusiastic children to music lessons), helps with special events at the local elementary school, and chaperones field trips--activities that provide her with plenty of material about which to write. She lives in Conneticut with her husband and their two sons, William and Robert.
