Review

This book takes the form of a blog/diary over the course of one year in the life of Tad as he traverses the end of middle school (8th grade) and the start of high school (9th grade). Readers won't care that it's not quite believable that Tad would actually publicly share all his thoughts through a blog because it's such a fun read with plenty of laugh out loud vignettes. This is the sequel to Planet Tad but readers won't need to start with the first book (but if they like this one, they'll certainly seek the earlier book). Tad is a regular feature in Mad Magazine and the book is full of illustrations not unlike the magazine. Fans of Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid books will enjoy Tad.

Overall Book Score: very good
