Zen and the Art of Faking It by Jordan Sonnenblick


I loved this book. I loved the main characters and how they grew. I loved the titles of the chapters. I loved the humor. I loved the funny references to librarians. :)
We are reading this book for 7th grade lunch bunch book club - I can't wait to discuss it!

From Barnes and Noble:
When eighth-grader San Lee moves to a new town and a new school for the umpteenth time, he doesn't try to make new friends or be a loner or play cool. Instead he sits back and devises a plan to be totally different. When he accidentally answers too many questions in World History on Zen (only because he just had Ancient Religions two schools ago) all heads turn and San has his answer: he's a Zen Master. And just when he thinks everyone (including the cute girl he can't stop thinking about) is on to him, everyone believes him . . . in a major Zen way.

Happy reading! If you read Zen and the Art of Faking It, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
