In a hilarious and touching journal addressed to the unborn intruder, Scott bares his soul as he copes with the trials and tribulations of a life that is changing faster than he wants it to. Filled with Lubar's trademark wit, enlivened by unexpected twists and turns of plot, Sleeping Freshmen is widely considered one of the best YA novels of 2005.

Editorial reviews
Sarcastic and imaginative, combining snark and intelligence with lots of humor, this story about a year in the life of high school freshman Scott Hudson was a finalist for AudioFile magazine's 2007 Audies Award. Scott isn't sure what to make of the changes in his life: His mother is unexpectedly pregnant and his friendships aren't going the way he expects. Ostensibly writing a guide for his future brother, Scott pours out his frustrations in diary form. Narrator Ryan MacConnell's performance as Scott is self-deprecating and honest, and he is supported by a full cast whose bright-eyed performance makes this audiobook a true laugh-out-loud listening experience.

This book is about freshman year from a nerd's point of view. He figures out what it means to be friends in high school and constantly stresses about the everyday life of it. And best of all (I'm an English teacher, mind you), is that he's always talking about what they learned in English class. But don't think it's an extra lesson for you--the topics he brings up are topics every English teacher should discuss: puns, comics, and more.
Just trust me on this: get past the initial cheesy part, sit back, and smile. Easily a 10.
Pick Me! Pick Me!

Although I found the full cast sometimes confusing -- I have to admit, I missed the narrative "he said," and "she said," as clues to whom was speaking -- the voice actors were well-cast.
Oh, if you're wondering, the "Wide Awake" references all come from M. Night Shyamalan's first film, Wide Awake which brings up a lot of the same themes.
A Wide-Awake Experience!
