INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Allbright, Lauren

Exit Strategy

(4) 4-6 When Ross and his musician mom pause their nomadic life to care for his hurt grandfather, he experiences many new-kid-in-school problems. Deciding that learning how to be funny will help him fit in, he makes it his science project topic. The use of diagrams and tables throughout to convey humor gets too clinical and repetitive, but the book captures the anxieties of middle school well.
