Genre:

23
By the time ninth grade begins, Ishmael Leseur knows it won't be long before Barry Bagsley, the class bully, says, "Ishmael? What kind of wussy name is that?” Ishmael's perfected the art of making himself virtually invisible. But all that changes when James Scobie joins the class. Unlike Ishmael, James has no sense of fear—he claims it was removed during an operation.
Now nothing will stop James and Ishmael from taking on bullies, bugs, and Moby Dick, in the toughest, weirdest, most embarrassingly awful...and the best year of their lives.

"Dont Call Me Ishamel", by Michael Gerard Bauer. The book "Dont Call Me Ishmael" is about a boy in highschool called Ishmael Leseur, he thinks that he as Ishmael Leseur Syndrome where he happens to think everything goes wrong for him, he faces many challenges throughout his year in highschool. After some encounters with new people Ishamel's life starts to change. The main chracters in the book Ishmael, Orazio Zorzotto, James Scobie, Prindabel, Bill Kingsley, these are just some of the few chracters in the book. I really enjoyed this book because it is really funny and everyone should have a enjoyable time reading it. I give this book 8.5 out of 10. :D

I read this book once in year 5 and found it really interesting but since I have reread it I have disliked it. The book is funny to an extent but really is meant for 8-10 year olds rather than teenagers. All in all I would recommend it to people but maybe more a 'younger sibling'. Good for both girls and boys.
