Synopsis
Ben Hunter has a miserable life -- M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E! His sister will only talk to him through text messages, his mom won't let him eat sugar or even go for a bike ride unchaperoned, and a bully at school steals all of his friends. Told in Ben's voice, through entries from his school journal with commentary from his teacher, this very funny and often poignant narrative chronicles an eventful year in the life of a thoughtful fourth grader.

About the Author
F.L. Block, winner of the prestigious Margaret A. Edwards Lifetime Achievement Award, is the author of many acclaimed and bestselling books for teens and adults.
From School Library Journal
Gr 3–5—Ben Hunter, a fifth grader, is convinced that he is having a miserable life. His sister hates him, his mother won't let him eat sugar, his dog acts like it's possessed by a demon, and his best friend is taken by his worst enemy. As the story unfolds, readers see Ben overcome his various obstacles with the help of a caring teacher. The novel is told through Ben's voice, along with journal entries and his teacher's responses. Block allows readers to peer deep inside Ben's head, enabling them to truly understand and feel what he is going through. While very humorous, the narrative also touches on some tougher, more realistic issues that children face every day at school and at home. The language is straightforward and accessible. VERDICT A solid additional purchase for larger middle grade collections, especially where readers are looking for a "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" read-alike with a bit more substance.—Danielle Fabrizio, Swanton Public Library, VT
