How I heard about it: my awesome YAL conference
Basic Premise: Kevin is running for student body president to impress a girl. The problem is...so is the most attractive, charismatic, babe-magnet in the entire school. Kevin's political strategies are put to the test.
My Take: 5 out of 10 (scale here)
This book was remarkably like the last one...ehhh.
I like Paulsen. A lot. I always have, and I was intrigued with this new line of books he has recently published: Liar, Liar, Flat Broke, and Crush are "companion novels." It was written with snark and wit, something very attractive to my boys. It didn't require much thinking (something that is also attractive to middle school boys), and there was nothing particularly riveting about the plot. It will be a good one to give kids, but I won't be reading it again, or picking up any of the companions for myself.
