My Life as a Broken Bungee Cord Book

Loved this book as a kid, but, as many books sadly do, this did not age well. The humor was forced, the plot had many holes and seemed to be purposefully convoluted to draw out the book time, the side-story was hopelessly cheesy, and as well-meaning as the God references were they seemed overdone in order to shove a message down the reader's throat. Too bad, I miss the days when I would cry laughing reading about Wally hanging from his ankle out of a hot-air balloon basket. (If you're a young reader, go crazy trying this one out! Maybe it'll have the same magic for you it did for me.)
