About this ebook

In his daydreams, Jensen is the biggest hero that ever was, saving the world and his friends on a daily basis. But his middle school reality is VERY different--math is hard, getting along with friends is hard...Even finding a partner for the class project is a huge problem when you always get picked last. And the pressure's on even more once the school newspaper's dynamic duo, Jenny and Akilah, draw Jensen into the whirlwind of school news, social-experiment projects, and behind-the-scenes club drama. Jensen has always played the middle school game one level at a time, but suddenly, someone's cranked up the difficulty setting. Will those daring daydreams of his finally work in his favor, or will he have to find real solutions to his real-life problems? The charming world of Berrybrook Middle School gets a little bigger in this highly anticipated follow-up to Svetlana Chmakova's award-winning Awkward with a story about a boy who learns his own way of being brave!

Ratings and reviews

It talks about how Middle School life is very hard for everyone and you think that you are the only person who is struggling but you realize that others are too and you have to help them. People often think that people are who they are based on looks and not on the inside like how the main character was portrayed as fat and everybody made fun of him because of that but he has had a great personality and love to draw. And when the police got suspended people picked on the bullies and that wasn't right

Amazing. But we need one about Jamie. Has my favorite b/c he reminds me of myself. Same age as well. 👌

I love the drawings and story of all these books! Hope you make more of these books! Your biggest fan- Carter😊
