Publisher's Note When he is given an assignment to write his autobiography on alphabetized cards during the span of a school year, Joe Bunch takes it on with little enthusiasm until his writing begins to help him understand himself, his feelings for his boyfriend Colin Briggs, and his place in the world as the misfit he thinks himself to be.
Industry Reviews "Howe has created a character that lives and breathes with all of the inconsistencies, fears and longings of your normal average seventh-grade homosexual." Kirkus (10/01/2005)
"Howe deals with weighty issues, but uses Joe's affable personality to interject ample humor...This narrator is anything but an average Joe: he's candid, memorable and...totally charismatic." Publishers Weekly (10/03/2005)
