A freshman’s field guide to high school

Scott’s first year of high school brings several uncertainties at once: navigating classes and social hierarchies, hoping to get Julia’s attention, and adjusting to his mother’s pregnancy. He responds by writing a survival manual for the sibling who will arrive after him, turning his own experiences into the material for a guide. The setup links familiar freshman concerns—crushes, bullies, and finding a place among peers—with the changing shape of Scott’s family. The novel’s humorous framing sits alongside the awkwardness and emotional complications of starting high school.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens interested in stories about the social challenges of starting high school.
  • Readers who enjoy humorous young adult fiction about crushes, peers, and family change.
  • Young adults looking for a school-based story centered on a teenager’s perspective.

Book overview

AN ALA BEST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS - Study up for a tale that perfectly captures the ridiculous, tumultuous, and sometimes heartbreaking truths about high school.

"A fresh, genuinely funny picture of an earnest yet hapless teen."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Lubar writes in a laugh-out-loud style about the problems of a teenager figuring out high school. . . A great read for teens looking for a laugh."--VOYA

Freaks and bullies. Classes and crushes. This is high school.

Starting high school is never easy, but could there be a worse time for Scott's mother to announce she's pregnant? Scott decides high school would be a lot less overwhelming if it came with a survival manual, so he begins to write one for his future sibling. Meanwhile, he's trying his best to capture the attention of Julia, the freshman goddess. While he tries to find his place in the confusing world of high school, win Julia's heart, and keep his sanity, Scott will be recording all of the details for his sibling's--and your--enjoyment.
