Amazing! Paulsen has done it again. This hilarious and painfully poignant look at life through the eyes of an adolescent male will make you laugh and wince at the agony of daily life. Given the unfortunate nickname of Doo-doo, Duane just wants to survive. He has no clue why his life is the mess that it is, and he just walks from one embarrassing incident to another. This twenty-day puberty journal of Duane Homer Leech will be a winner with both kids who are 12 and anyone who was ever that age.
