Another hilarious book that deals with guys growing up and trying to become young men, surviving the rites of passage in middle school. This guy really has it tough trying to deal with a world that includes so many "elbows"- there are "elbows" on his cereal box and all around him. It's just not easy being a guy in a world of "elbows" and that's the least of his problems! Walking a straight line is also tough. Great for a 10 to 12-year-old or maybe a 9-year-old who is starting to get interested in girls. Growing up is hard to do!
