Klutzhood

The DBTRC has 30 copies of this book.

LOCATION: Brother Andre


MCMAHEN, CHRIS
KLUTZHOOD

Arlo is upset -- really upset -- that his mother is forcing him to move from perfect Victoria, British Columbia, to East Bend, Alberta. What does East Bend have to offer him? Snow and hockey. But worse than the cold is the realization that everyone plays hockey and he is the only kid in Canada that can't skate. He knows that living in East Bend is going to be a disaster. And his first day of school proves it. He is going to become an outcast forever.

To avoid this fate worse than death, Arlo lies, evades and eventually tries some forbidden stunts in the hopes of becoming a Dumpster Dude -- a group that will accept his hockey deficiencies. How Arlo is able to get himself out of his uncomfortable predicament and find a place in his new school is hilarious.
