[LM_NET] Hit: Companion to Frankie Banks

[Alison Paulette <acpaulette@APPOMATTOX.K12.VA.US>]

A few weeks ago I asked for suggestions for read alongs for The Disreputable 
History of Frankie Landau Banks.  The guys just weren't into it.  The overwhelming 
suggestion was Looking for Alaska.  However, having read that book I couldn't see 
it being used in this teacher's classroom due to some of the content.  (I love the 
book and every student who has checked it out on my recommendation has loved it, 
but I wouldn't be comfortable making it assigned reading.)  I'm happy to report 
that I have found a titles I think will be great with Frankie - Sleeping Freshmen 
Never Lie.  It fits all my requirements - male protagonist, issues with fitting in 
and being true to yourself and let's not forget the great wordplay (like Tom 
Swifties) which was also something Frankie used.  
 
I really loved this book and as I was reading realized there were endless tie-ins 
for and english class.
