Sleeping Freshman Never Lie Scott Hudson

“All I knew for sure was that our lives were about to change” (Lubar, 3). This is what Scott said the day before freshman year started, and he was right. In Sleeping Freshman Never Lie Scott Hudson is entering his first year of high school. He has heard how the freshman were treated, and was not very excited. The first day, he realized that his friend in Kindergarten, Julia, someone magically became gorgeous over the summer. He also deals with friends, crushes, extra curricular activities, and finding himself. On top of that, his mother is pregnant. So, he decides to help his new sibling by writing a freshman survival guide. This survival guide will document the different things he experienced in freshman year and the mistakes he made, in

At the beginning of the book, Scott had three best friends, Kyle, Mitch, and Patrick. His friends slowly drifted away for different reasons. Patrick had to move to Texas..
