Storky: How I Lost My Nickname and Won the Girl

Reader reviewed by Amanda Marasco

Michael A.K.A Storky is the typical dork. He doesn't have much of a social life untill he maked a new friend that introduces him to drinking. Then he finds out his mom is dating his annoying dentist. Plus he has a huge crush on one of his old friends. This is one complicated life to live.

This book made me laugh so hard! It was fun to read the internal struggles of Storky. The ending is happy which is always great. I seem to favor books with a boys POV because i can finally get in their mind-set.

Boys and girls should read this book.

Michael has just started high school, and things are looking bad. Gina, the girl of his dreams, sees him as her nerdy friend and is going out with a jock; his mom is dating his fat dentist; his dad always brings his latest girlfriend to their dinners every Sunday and ignores him; his sister, Amanda, is Miss Popular; and he's stuck with the nickname "Storky". But, slowly, things get better when Michael gets a backbone, stands up for himself, and realizes all the good things that have been there all along.

Storky is a hilarious book about an awkward teen who overcomes his shyness and fearfulness, and some parts of the book are surprisngly touching. D.L. Garfinkle does a great job protraying a teenage guy, and any one is a teen or ever has been one should read this book.

I personally did not appreciate all the set-ups of this book but other people will. I have no doubt in my mind that would happen in real life, but it just isn't my kind of book. I should know I read about 215 hours a summer.

As you may know I judge my book harshly, but this one not so harsh. Why? you ask me. Because my bestfriend in the whole wide world liked it thats why! :)
