Berticus: How I Survived School! and Bullies! and Farley Finnigan!
Berticus: How I Survived School! and Bullies! and Farley Finnigan! | Brian Silbert
8 posts | 1 read
Fifth-grader Berticus exists at the collision point of homework, tests, bullies, first crush and the pressure from The Perfect Student—not a pretty sight, but a funny one. Berticus goes from lunchroom self-appointed maître d', to his secret club, an impromptu sing-a-long following a bathroom mishap, surviving bullies, becoming a martial arts superhero, running for class president, to school band with the girl he’s been crushing on…and all bets are off.

I've been an adult for a long time, but my mom wouldn't stop hounding me. Finally, I agreed I'd turn my stories about Berticus into a book. And now it has actually won an award. How cool is that?
