Description
Geordie likes baseball, crunching carrots, playing the trumpet in the school band and anything to do with water. Not quite telling the truth earns: "You're grounded!" Over the year that follows, the world's truths turn out to be more interesting than Geordie ever imagined. Some discoveries are comic, some are exciting, some upsetting, some sad. And some are puzzling. Consisting of word puzzles, a series of poems and a diary, this book will delight young readers and teenagers alike.

"The whole book is pulled together with fun design and typesetting tricks used to enhance the personal journal motif...the effect is delightful - at once playful and believable...While its brevity and visual appeal make The Year I Was Grounded a good choice for reluctant or struggling readers, the subject matter and language are by no means in the 'light reading' category. This is capital L Literature, make no mistake!... Highly Recommended."-- "CM Magazine"
