AVERAGE BOY'S ABOVE-AVERAGE YEAR

AVERAGE BOY'S ABOVE-AVERAGE YEAR by Bob Smiley

Bob Smiley (AKA Average Boy) is exactly that - your average middle school boy. Athletic ability- not the best. Grades - somewhere in the middle. Coolness level - not rocking it with the elites, but not hanging with the nerds. You know - average. But when the youth pastor announces a competition and a new game console is the prize, Average Boy decides he just might have to up his game a bit. What does he have to do to win it? Stand up for God. Each week the kids in the youth group vote on who stood up for God the Most that week. At the end of the summer, the kid who has the most votes wins the game console. That can't be that difficult, can it?

This read took me a few pages to get into, but once I did, it was great! There are life lessons taught wrapped in situations many of us can relate to with a great dose of humor thrown in. Recommend!
