Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Peter's earnest, myopic first-person narration is authentic and convincing, and Yoo exposes the precarious footing and shifting allegiances of middle school with a deft hand... A mystery about the Fenwick Middle School thief contributes to the quick pace and adds a satisfactory surprise." -- ALA Booklist "Peter and Drew's antics will keep readers laughing. Readers will be entertained by the boys' hijinks and empathize with their desire to fit in." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE: "It wouldn't seem possible to make high school jocks, popular girls and losers fresh and hilarious, but Yoo does it." -- New York Times Book Review Praise for STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE: "Albert is a funny, fascinating, and infuriating character. Laugh-out-loud moments and painfully realistic scenes of student life will hold readers' attention." -- School Library Journal Praise for GIRLS FOR BREAKFAST: "Very funny and bravely rendered." -- Seattle Times Praise for GIRLS FOR BREAKFAST: "Funny, dark, and subversive. Beware: you'll never be able to look at a guy the same way after you read this book." -- Rachel Cohn, author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
