New kid. New school. A whole new opportunity. Meet Cody Lee Carson. Birthday: April 1. Past history: doofus, bozo-brain. Now that Cody's in a new school in a new town, he has a chance to reinvent himself. Through his "New Me" journal, readers follow him through his fifth-grade year--including everything from student council elections, science fairs, crushes, and one disastrous "talent" show. Will he make it through in one piece--without showing his Tweety-Bird underwear again? "This lively and believable record . . . has great appeal. It's a sort of male companion for Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's early 'Alice' books."-- School Library Journal
I purchased this book for my classroom of fifth graders. It is one of the Florida Sunshine State Reader's selections for 2006-07. The students have passed the word, "It's a good book." They have recommended it to each other, high praise indeed. Many have gone searching for more books by this author.
Hilarious and good leisure material

Cody Carson faces fifth grade with a journal intended to record his new life in a new school, where nobody should suspect he was a mess-up onstage. His attempt to change his personality and avoid embarrassment and disaster soon proves disastrous as he faces an attack of mutant underwear and a blow to his newfound ego. Hilarious and good leisure material, Attack Of The Mutant Underwear is highly recommended reading.
