Description

The Goodish Days of Daniel Donnob is an inside look into the heart and mind of a 7th grade boy--written by a real 7th grader (now 8th grader), as he navigates his thoughts about school, relationships, growing up, girls, and his quest for happiness. A funny, authentic view of life in today's parlance, it is full of both teenage wisdom and lack of wisdom. Life lessons, funny stories, and constructive life lessons make this an easy, enjoyable read for all ages. The story takes place in California, where Daniel adjusts to his mom's live-in boyfriend, Darrell (Hairy Pits), her home yoga business for the elderly, and Darrell's daughter who has taken his room and put him on the couch. At school he is dealing with mean kids, the pursuit of "hot girls" and his less than successful attempts at connecting with them, as well as his own popularity, or lack thereof. The Goodish Days are descriptions of the days that made his life "epic," and it is not necessarily what he had envisioned.
