In this contemporary classic, veteran children's author Viorst introduces us to Alexander, a kid with an unruly crop of hair, who gets out of bed to face a day that seems to grow increasingly worse with each passing minute. Indeed, on the very first page, Alexander wakes to hair full of gum, trips on his skateboard, and drops a sweater in a sink full of water. At breakfast, his brothers are having a far better day - having found prizes in their breakfast cereal - which makes Alexander feel worse. School offers him no respite from his horrible day: he gets reprimanded by a teacher, he gets demoted to third best friend, and at lunch, finds himself dessertless. Could the day get worse? After school, the dentist discovers a cavity, the elevator door closes on his foot, and at the shoe store, he has to buy plain white shoes (while both brothers get shoes with stripes!). Later, he gets lima beans for dinner and there's kissing on TV. Alexander can't wait for this day to end.

"Do you think being a kid helped you become a writer?" Inspired by this question, the best-selling author of the Newbery Medal-winning Maniac Magee and the Newbery Honor Book Wringer wrote an early autobiography that will delight his fans and provide food for thought for budding writers. Spinelli grew up in Norristown, Pennsylvania, in the 1950s, and his memories give readers a clear picture of what that world was like back then. Many of the situations are unremarkable, but they are appealing for just that reason. As in Spinelli's many novels, ordinary situations are imbued with humor (and pathos) in the telling. And Spinelli is, first and foremost, a storyteller. The way he describes winning a foot race, losing a family pet, getting his first kiss, and taking his first trip to the principal's office sheds new light on each of these universal experiences. In this personal narrative, Spinelli also includes embarrassing moments and things that made him feel proud, and he refuses to limit his subjects to what teachers might want their students to hear. For his first sixteen years, Newbery Award-winning author Jerry Spinelli didn't like to read books. Instead, he was a rock skipper, snowball thrower, yo-yo tangler, salamander finder, and aspiring professional shortstop. No, Spinelli wasn't a reader growing up - cereal boxes and comic books were pretty much it. But, oh, the imagination that could interpret a radio broadcast, or the curious spirit that could wonder just how the knots really got in his yo-yo string. Throughout his reminiscing, Spinelli points out the influences that ultimately turned him into a writer. He also encourages kids to create stories by drawing on their own experiences. Such inspirational prompts as "Sixteen Things I Wished I Could Do" can make this entertaining memoir a useful component of a creative writing program.
