This novel is a good example of an Autobiography because it is written by Jerry Spinelli himself, a well known children's author, about his childhood, and what events lead him up to being a writer. ( )

This is an autobiography about Jerry Spinelli. In this book, Jerry writes about his experiences growing from childhood into adolescence. Jerry tells about everything from his most embarrassing moments to moments when he felt proud. Jerry writes about his first kiss, losing a pet, his visit to the principal’s office, and so on.

In relating to this story, as I read this autobiography it brought back all my experiences. I found it very interested that Jerry experienced many of the same things I did growing up. This autobiography was such a great book.

In the classroom, the students will tell of their most embarrassing moments or a moment when they felt proud. The students will also write a short autobiography about their lives. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679887911, Paperback)

"A master of those embarrassing, gloppy, painful, and suddenly wonderful things that happen on the razor's edge between childhood and full-fledged adolescence" (The Washington Post),  Newbery medalist Jerry Spinelli has penned his early autobiography with all the warmth, humor, and drama of his best-selling fiction. From first memories through high school, including first kiss, first punch, first trip to the principal's office, and first humiliating sports experience, this is not merely an account of a highly unusual childhood. Rather, like Spinelli's fiction, its appeal lies in the  accessibility and universality of his life. Entertaining and fast-paced, this is a highly readable memoir-- a must-have for Spinelli fans of all ages.
