Sherman Mack is interested in girls. He's not creepy, he just likes girls. So when a girl he wants to impress suggests that he investigate the perpetrators of the dreaded D-listing that's going on at their school. D-listing is a process that involves an unknown person pasting pictures of girls in the bathrooms. These people are then treated as if they don't even exist. In his own unique way, Sherman becomes determined to stop this labeling that is ruining people's lives.
The good: Basically, the moral of the story is that high-schoolers (and other teens) give people labels that don't easily come off, and that inaction is just as harmful as a direct attack. It's a good thing to keep in mind.
The bad: Sherman's mom is an exotic dancer wanna be. And normal high school swearing.
My view: Lacking in laughs, intelligence and surprise, this book's jacket promises more that it delivers. The main character is pathetic, and I couldn't really find any redeeming qualities in him. The story was kinda flat and textbook teen book. Bland is the perfect word to desicribe this book.
