    would give it no  stars if possible
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018*

I don’t recall who suggested this book.  It wasn’t a recommendation but a question about whether it would be a good story for a pre-teen boy to open a dialogue on puberty.  In fact, it is billed as “A hilarious coming of age story for teenage boys about faking it until you make it—and what it means to be a man.”  My response is no, at least for those who want to maintain purity of heart.  Are children who are being brought up in the nurture and training of the Lord ever really ready for this kind of ungodliness?  One reviewer said that it’s “Judy Blume for boys,” which is NOT a good recommendation in my view.Are there any positives?  I will admit that the book does contain humor.  Unfortunately, much of it falls into the category of “coarse jesting” condemned in Ephesians 5:4.  Also, I will say that Australian author Chris Miles is a good story teller.  However, I am reminded of Cecil B. DeMilles’s observation, which applies to books as well as movies, that if something isn’t worth doing to begin with, it isn’t worth doing well.  And, interestingly enough, there is a good underlying message about being yourself, being honest with others, and being loyal to your friends.  But, oh, the pure garbage one has to wade through to get there.  One thing which worries me about the present generation of kids is that too many of them have parents that encourage and even promote this kind of trash.

    Great Idea

I gave it to my grandson, 11 years old.  He liked it.

    Socially Awkward Protagonist Lacks the Heart to Carry Bold Story
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017*

Jack Sprigley managed to get the raw end of the puberty deal. Not only is he a late-bloomer, he hasn't even sprouted which proves quite embarrassing for a ninth grader. It seems like all of his friends are leaps and bounds ahead of him in the manliness department.When Jack feels abandoned by his friends over winter break, he handles it in the most cringeworthy way, by bragging how he masturbated the entire vacation. It wouldn't be so bad if Jack kept his conversations among the guys, but the readers can't help but squirm when the girls are included in his big talk to prove he's normal.As if Jack hasn't proven he's socially awkward enough, he tries to prove his popularity by appearing on a reality T.V. show and presenting a mature and improved version of himself. What starts out what's supposed to be a funny look at the pitfalls of puberty, gets lost in the change of direction.The novel has a few moments that might elicit some uncomfortable laughs, including a clever reversible cover. The novel is billed as a Judy Blume for boys but it lacks the heart of its predecessor that allows the reader to really connect with the protagonist.Word of warning: Let the reader find this one without guidance or he may never look you in the face again.This is a copy of my review that originally appears on my blog, Boys To Books.
