Are you an Obnoxious Jerk?

Hey everyone! Wow, it feels great to be able to work on my blog after such a long period of not using the computer. So, how are your summers going so far? Mine has been pretty busy, since I have had to work at church with the younger kids for the past two weeks, so I am exhausted! But, my evenings have been uneventful, so I have had some time to read! Yay!

If the title (of the book or the post) insults you, please, don't be offended! It is the title of this new book that I read, called The Obnoxious Jerks, by Stephen Manes. It is about this groups of boys in high school, who call themselves The Obnoxious Jerks. They perform pranks, which they call jerk-outs, to protest against school rules which they think are unfair. But, after the school talent show, a girl named Leslie "Iceberg" Freeze, asked to join The Obnoxious Jerks. Unfortunately, only one of the boys thinks that Leslie should join the group, and the others don't want her to join, mostly because she is a girl. But they really need help for their next jerk-out, and only Leslie can help. So they grudgingly allow Leslie to join, but only if she helps with their jerk-out. At the end of the book, The Obnoxious Jerks actually realize that it is kind of cool to have a girl in the group and they become great friends. Yay! A happy ending!

This is a hilarious book and I think that almost everyone who reads this book will enjoy it. It starts, explains, and ends very well. I would recommend this book to everyone I knew (if many of my friends actually READ (haha I'm kidding friends!!) books that they would enjoy it too.)

Well, until I review again!
