Anyway* by Arthur Salm5/30/2023 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2012. by Arthur Salm RELEASE DATE: May 1, 2012. Anyway: A Story about Me with 138 Footnotes, 27 Exaggerations, and 1 Plate of Spaghetti. A STORY ABOUT ME WITH 138 FOOTNOTES, 27 EXAGGERATIONS, AND 1 PLATE OF SPAGHETTI. Can you guess where the spaghetti comes into the story? See if you are right by reading Anyway. Action takes place at a shopping mall, in Max's backyard, at camp, and at a big birthday party where girls and boys play musical chairs. Max would not want me to reveal too much about his story, but let me just say that he has one set of friends (and an enemy) from his school and makes another set when he goes to summer camp with his family. They also alert you to the 27 exaggerations. Don't skip them for they reveal much about Max's character and that of his alter ego Mad Max. Max is not a storyteller who can stay on subject, which is why he includes 138 footnotes. He tell all about his rocky summer in Anyway: A Story about Me with 138 Footnotes, 27 Exaggerations, and 1 Plate of Spaghetti by Arthur Salm. Usually good kid Max, who is between seventh and eighth grade, often hears that his mishaps will be funny someday, but he is ready to get past the tween stage and never return. Most of my memories of junior high are pleasant, but not all, and I am very happy that I do not have to live through the age again.
