About this ebook

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?

Ratings and reviews

I really really Lo-ve this book. I see myself in the main character not just because i am lesbian but he isnt afraid to be himself. I've been through name calling and witnesssing idiotic people judging someone for being themselfs. This book hits home and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This book is amazing. It's about a boy discovering he is gay and dealing with people who do not accept that. I will not spoil anything! Great book for 12+

This is an amazing book and I'm not gunna give any spoilers but this is a really awesome book! Read it people you'll be happy u did :)
