Stu Truly by Dan Richards
Stu Truly is the coming-of-age story of 12-year-old Stu as he struggles to navigate the murky waters of adolescence when he finds himself living a lie---that seems to be growing beyond his control---to impress the new girl in school, now available in paperback!When Stuart Cornelius Truly first sets eyes on the new girl, Becca, he staples his finger to his seventh-grade history assignment. The second time he sees her, he coughs up a bite of her lunch---a vegetarian roasted pepper sandwich---all over her sweater, and promptly lies, claiming that he, too, is a vegetarian. Their third encounter goes more smoothly, but Stu's lie turns out to be harder to keep than he expected, especially since his family owns a butcher shop.
In this hilarious, heartwarming, contemporary middle grade novel, Stu suddenly begins to realize the opposite sex exists (and isn't so bad, after all!). Can Stu learn to successfully navigate old friends, new crushes, and horror-filled school dances, or will his lie, intended to impress his crush, cause his world to fall apart?

He earned his bachelor's degree in writing for children from the University of Washington, where he created his first picture book, The Trouble with NOT Being Afraid of Monsters. Dan's debut novel is Stu Really. He lives in Bothell, Washington, with his family. DanRichardsBooks.com has more information about him.
