How to Train Your Dad
by Gary Paulsen
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Pub October 5, 2021
Paulsen's book is spot-on for teens who live in the normal USA, where big cities and subways are not part of the experience, making do with what they have, dealing with parents who have their own strong vision of what life should look like, and needing more room to grow into adulthood.
This is a young-adult version of the dry and often slapstick humor for which author Patrick McManus is well-known: life in all its glory and goof-ups.
The flavor of the narrative isn't for every YA or middle grade reader, but it will be just right for many. Thanks to NetGalley and Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) for a chance to read an advance copy. Coming October 5, 2021.
