Description

From Rex Ogle and Dave Valeza, the dynamic duo behind Four Eyes, comes this second installment in the humorous and heartfelt middle-school memoir series. With his new pair of glasses, Rex is finally starting to see his way through middle school. But on the first day of seventh grade, he encounters a bump in the road - a big ooey, gooey bump right in the center of his forehead. And this giant zit is just the beginning of his problems. What follows next is an exhausting battle with stubborn acne, embarrassing body odor, and other awkward puberty developments. Still struggling with a home life fringing on the poverty line, Rex can't afford to buy the acne medication or deodorant he needs, and bullies are noticing Rex's uncomfortable transformation. On top of it all, things have gotten weird with his new girlfriend, Kennedy, making Rex feel like he can't do or say anything right. So far, seventh grade stinks!
