Readers' Favorite 5-Star Recipient
The award-winning book for screen-obsessed kids who "don't read"... until they accidentally laugh their way through every page.
Not Logan: How I Accidentally Became a YouTube Star is a laugh-out-loud illustrated chapter book for boys and girls ages 8-13 -- especially kids who'd rather play games or scroll YouTube than read.
Twelve-year-old Logan Blake is not famous. He's not cool, not coordinated, and definitely not expecting his YouTube channel, Not Logan (with a whopping three subscribers -- hi Grandma), to blow up.
But then, during a livestream, a bizarre video game glitch turns him into a headless flying bunny -- and the internet loses its mind.
Overnight, Logan becomes internet-famous. Views skyrocket. Sub counts explode. Suddenly, he's being asked to do interviews, sell merch, and play the part of "Not Logan" -- the weird, viral character the world thinks he is.
The problem? Logan's not sure being himself is enough to keep the spotlight.
He's just a middle school kid who likes snacks, gaming, and getting through the school day without face-planting in the cafeteria. Now, caught between digital chaos and real-life awkwardness, he has to figure out what happens next -- while dodging trolls, keeping up with content, and surviving sixth grade.
This book was born out of desperation.
When nothing could get one video game-obsessed, reluctant reader to enjoy books, a mom and her 12-year-old son decided to write one themselves. They created the exact story they wished existed: fast-paced, hilarious, and written in a voice that sounds like a real kid.
Today, that same screen-addicted kid is the co-author behind Logan's painfully real (and ridiculously funny) middle school adventures.
Told in Logan's laugh-out-loud voice -- with doodle-style illustrations and nonstop awkward chaos -- Not Logan is perfect for:
• Kids ages 8-13 who love YouTube, gaming, or funny books
• Fans of Big Nate, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man, Dork Diaries, or Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
• Parents, teachers, and librarians looking for high-interest books for reluctant readers
• Anyone searching for graphic novel alternatives for boys, funny books for 8-13 year olds, or chapter books that actually get kids reading
• Middle school students and fans of funny children's books
From chaotic livestreams to a burnt cookie blob named Crispy Steve, Not Logan is a hilarious and relatable look at viral fame, YouTube culture, middle school drama, and staying true to yourself -- even when your life feels like one giant glitch.
The book that turns screen lovers into readers -- one laugh at a time.
Perfect for summer reading lists, school book fairs, independent reading time, and read-alikes for Wimpy Kid or gamer books for kids, Not Logan is fast becoming a favorite among parents, teachers, and kids who swore they hated reading.
