    About this ebook

    Zack Zuckerman never meant to start a revolution. All he wanted was for the 6th-grade class bully to leave him alone. But when Zack realizes that the teachers aren't going to help him or the other kids who are being bullied at school, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Let the bullies beware!

      Faking It To Make It With A Girl Is Fine (but Not For Life)

      Oct 18, 2022

      You never forget your first erection. (You didn’t think I was going there, did you? Nor did I.) It happened on a crisp spring morning back in the ’80s. On a working-class holiday park in the south-east of England—think Batam with fewer rustic huts an

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      To this day, I don’t know why I decided to sneak a glimpse at the phys-ed teacher’s notes in Grade 4. The very notion of a clandestine peek at the teacher’s clipboard was, for a rule-obsessed kid like me, tantamount to breaking into the principal’s o
