Alan Cole Is Not a Coward -- Eric Bell

<p><strong>Perfect for fans of Tim Federle and Gary Schmidt, this is a hilarious and poignant tale about the trials of middle school when you're coming of age--and coming out.</strong></p><p>Alan Cole can't stand up to his cruel brother, Nathan. He can't escape the wrath of his demanding father, who thinks he's about as exceptional as a goldfish. And--scariest of all--he can't let the cute boy across the cafeteria know he has a crush on him.</p><p>But when Nathan discovers Alan's secret, his older brother announces a high-stakes round of Cole vs. Cole. Each brother must complete seven nearly impossible tasks; whoever finishes the most wins the game. If Alan doesn't want to be outed to all of Evergreen Middle School, he's got to become the most well-known kid in school, get his first kiss, and stand up to Dad. Alan's determined to prove--to Nathan, to the world, to himself--that this goldfish can learn to swim.</p><p>May the best Cole win.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Eric Bell<br><b>Publisher:</b> Katherine Tegen Books<br><b>Published:</b> 09/04/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.55h x 5.20w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062567048<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 8<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>196405 / Alan Cole Is Not a Coward<br>
