How to Get Suspended... made the American Library Association's Banned Books Week packet...now, here's a special "Now With More Swearing" edition of the cult YA novel!
Leon Harris, a "gifted pool" hooligan, takes on his middle school after being suspended for trying to direct an avant garde sex ed film, La Dolce Pubert, as an eighth grade school project.
Originally published by Random House in 2007, and later a part of the American Library Association's "Banned Books Week" packet, this new "author's edition" of the hilarious, critically-acclaimed cult YA hit features more than thirty additional swear words that were removed from the original draft!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
"Smart and savvy on all fronts, full of 'read out loud to whoever happens to be nearby' passages." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This funny, fast-paced novel is filled with characters who epitomize the middle school experience, and it presents a lesson or two about free speech as well." - School Library Journal
"Selzer’s zany, edgy debut thumbs its nose at censorship and prudishness..."miscreant kids" will appreciate the plot's outrageousness and applaud's Leon's commitment to his quirky vision." - Booklist
"In his debut, Selzer manages to capture the voice of a smarter-than-average young teen as he humorously observes his parents, the teachers and his classmates. Pervasive strong language and subject matter bump up the target audience, but there's definite appeal in the plot and some real laughs along the way." - Kirkus
Features an active table of contents and a new introduction by the author, plus a preview of PLAY ME BACKWARDS, a new novel featuring Leon at 18 coming in August, 2014!
