He passes out during a worm dissection in science class, falls flat on his face in gym class and gets a fat lip that causes him to lisp all day, and his plans for a monster-truck party turn into a bouncy house disaster. Why isn't being in middle school as great as Derek imagined? Thankfully, with a little help from his friends--and, ironically, a Toys for Tots fundraiser--things seem like they could start shaping up at last. <p/><b><i>My Life as a Joke </i>by Janet and Jake Tashjian is a Christy Ottaviano Book<br></b><br>"Readers will connect with likable Derek and his efforts to improve himself that don't ever go right . . .
