Commentary As Books Don't Call Me Ishmael! (Ishmael Leseur #1)

There's no easy way to put this, so I'll say it straight out. It's time I faced up to the truth. I'm fourteen years old and I have Ishmael Leseur's Syndrome. There is no cure. And there is no instant cure to not fitting in. But that won't stop Ishmael and his intrepid band of misfits from taking on bullies, bugs, babes, the Beatles, debating, and the great white whale in the toughest, the weirdest, the most embarrassingly awful...and the best year of their lives.

Are they also rferencing schools in Brisbane?A laughter filled story of 14yo

Hilarious. I read it in one sitting.

I enjoyed this immensely from start to finish. The plot was by no means unconventional but the writing was so fantastic that I hardly noticed. The narrator's 'voice' was so vivid and he told his story with such a dramatic, humorous, theatrical flourish that you felt like his troubles with the school bully and insecurities about girls and public speaking were bigger news than WWII.I immediately guessed that the writer was a high school teacher, and sure enough, a quick check of the 'about the

i thought that this book was a good book and very enjoyable to read, it was a book that could be great to read for all ages but especially for teenages or people that have started at a new school. The book focuses alot on bullying and how to cope with bullying. i really enjoyed reading this book and i would like to read the next one.
