GOODREADS SUMMARY

Steve "Sneeze" Wyatt is back and taking half his classes at the high school, where a meathead varsity golf goon has it out for him. Meanwhile, Sneeze's middle-school friends are acting . . . funny. Why is best friend Hiccup tongue-tied around a girl in their martial arts class? And what does Sneeze have to do to get his crush to stop mooning over the handsome new Hawaiian kid? As Sneeze tussles with the golf goon and writes himself into a love-letter mess, everyone struggles through the throes of friendship and first love.

With a hilarious ensemble cast, plenty of zingy banter, and just the right amount of gross-outs, this latest in the 101 Ways series delivers exactly what fans want, and is sure to earn new ones too.

COVER COMMENTS

The cover reminds me of some sort of self-help book you would see in an infomercial. Check out the ants too. Ha!
