Twelve-year-old Tad is a blogger with a plan, in the book Jon Stewart calls "hilarious to anyone who ever went through, is currently in, might go to, or flunked out of middle school."
Tad has an agenda: Survive seventh grade. He also wants to: grow a mustache, get girls to notice him, and do a kickflip on his skateboard. But those are not the main reasons he started a blog. Tad just has a lot of important thoughts he wants to share with the world, like: Here is the first thing I have learned about having a dog in your house: Don't feed them nachos. Not ever.
This highly illustrated and hilarious book is by the Emmy® Award-winning former head writer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and is based on a column in MAD Magazine. Through a series of daily entries, readers are treated to a year in Tad's blog that will leave them in stitches.

It is January 1, and twelve-year-old Tad is a seventh grader at Lakeville Middle School. He has gotten a new computer for Christmas (actually, it’s his dad’s old computer), so he decides to start a blog. That’s his first New Year’s resolution. The other four are to finish seventh grade, figure out how to do a kickflip on his skateboard, get girls to notice him, and finally start shaving. Written in the form of a blog diary, the book records Tad’s observations over the next year about dealing with his family, especially his very smart little sister, school, friends, summer vacation with trying to get a job and visiting Grandma, and other life experiences in seventh and eighth grades. Will he keep his resolutions? Basically, this is all to himself, and the internet.
