The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter

The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter
By John Gosselink

Poor Thaddeus.  Annoying and smartalecky as he is, you can't help but feel kind of sorry for this 7th grader trapped in In School Suspension (ISS) for the rest of the school year.  He pulled off one too many stunts in school, church, and a nursing home, and the book is his defense to his principal, written in diary format.  It's pretty funny, and the little drawings and charts included in his defense to help "explain" things definitely made me laugh.
