HughTube

I'm blogging for my life

14-year-old Hugh Hollenbeck doesn't get it. What doesn't he get? Just about everything. That's why he walks around with a little camera attached to his glasses that records his entire life. Then he watches it all later to try to figure out the things he didn't get before which, as you'll recall, is just about everything and he makes a weekly video blog for all to see.

Unfortunately, Hugh's cluelessness leads him to run for Student Council President. Even his little sister knows that this school election thing is just "not him", but Hugh, as always, has to find out the hard way. At least Hugh's campaign gets him the attention of the very confident, very pretty and very intimidating Molly MacLaine. But will Molly be able to help Hugh survive his disastrous campaign, or will he crash and burn and bring the whole school down with him?

If you like the Middle School series and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you'll love HughTube. This book is for anybody who's ever been baffled by the secrets, contradictions and unwritten rules of middle school. Tweens and teens will easily relate to the comic mishaps of our hapless hero. This funny coming of age, middle grade story is the first in a series, so if you like it, there's more to come!

(Don't forget to look for the surprise after Chapter 1!)
