Ginger Kid by Steve Hoffstetter
Presents humorous stories from the life of comedian Steve Hofstetter, formatted as a series of essays speaking to his life from seventh grade and the awkward but formative teenage years to just before he entered college.
Review from School Library Journal:
YouTube star Hofstetter takes readers back into a time that is the most difficult: high school. In this memoir, he details his journey from public school to getting into an elite private school and trying to find his way during his formative teenage years. From having his first girlfriend and learning the ins and outs of dating, to finding new friends in his new school, Hofstetter never misses a beat, mixing humor with more serious issues, such as bullying and standing up for oneself. For those who are ready to graduate from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" who want to see a self-proclaimed nerd progress in life, this is a welcome next choice.
