The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian

This book is about a boy named Josh that is your basic wiz kid. His mother is dead, and he lives with his step father. One day Josh creates a web blog under the fake identity of Larry. The site immediately sky rockets and everybody has the same question. Who is Larry?This book was definately one of my favorites. The author made it funny, but in a clever way using little foot notes. Its a perfect book for any middle school reader, and the plot isnt too complicated. In my opinion, The Gospel According to Larry is a great read!
