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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Life as a Joke \u003c\/i\u003eby Janet and Jake Tashjian is a Christy Ottaviano Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Readers will connect with likable Derek and his efforts to improve himself that don't ever go right . . .
