How could I forget "Zen and the Art of Faking It"? This funny book by Jordan Sonnenblick was a favourite of the Grade 7 students who were reading all the YRCA choices this past year. Check out the MapleGroveYRCA blog to see their comments. Some of the students compared it to "Schooled" by Gordon Korman except Cap is just being himself while San is an anti- hero who lies in order to fit in with each new school he attends. Because he is Chinese and because he answers one question about Buddahism in class, his fellow students think he is a Zen master. Oops - he better head to the Library to find out all about it before they find out he is a fake!
What are you reading today?

My teacher, Mr. Coo, is reading this to us, and I wish he could never stop reading! It's hilarious. I love how Woody writes "ELL" and he gets all jealous. Can't wait to finish it!
