The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter
Designed like a case file, chock-full of notes, journal entries, letters, e-mails, illustrations, and more, The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter is a hilarious middle-grade novel that argues why Thaddeus should be released from his in-school suspension and explains the unbelievable circumstances that led to his punishment. Like Adrian Mole and the Great Brain, Thaddeus is a too-smart-for-his-own-good hero. Soon readers will be chanting, “Free Thaddeus!”
Praise for The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter
"This original and entertaining book, with its smarty-pants narrator and case-file format, will draw comparisons to the Wimpy Kid series." — Booklist

"Hilarious situations told by a memorable narrator in a unique format." - VOYA
"It has the same sassy, irreverent spirit as Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series but will appeal to a slightly older crowd. The format makes it an enjoyable choice for everyone, including reluctant readers." - School Library Journal

This book may be too clever for the average middle schooler because there is a lot of inference. I, however, found it highly enjoyable. Thaddeus has been sent to ISS for the entire second semester, and this book is a compilation of journal entries, discipline reports, posters, Thaddeus "fun facts" etc. as Thaddeus attempts to explain his side of his behavior. It jumps around so much I felt like I had ADHD, but it all ties together brilliantly. As I was reading, I felt there was a little bit something dark lurking beneath the surface to explain Thaddeus's behavior (and there is). I also began to think only two types of people could write this book: someone who was as obnoxious as Thaddeus when he was a kid or a teacher. Turns out it was a teacher, and for you teachers out there, Gosselink has really captured the dual frustration and enjoyment of teaching middle school kids.

April 30, 2015***This review may contain spoilers, if you seem interested in this book than stop reading my review*** Most books about cases of court are pretty boring, you don't any spark for any character. But in this book the protagonist, Thaddeus A. Ledbetter actually sparks a little in my mind because the book is about him and about what he did and why he did it so who can blame him? The genre of this book is straight up fiction. (unless you call modern a type of fiction) In my opinion this book is OK because it has key elements that not all books have like making you like the protagonist and making you hate the antagonist (The Principal) even in the main characters case files he makes fun of the principal for lack of running a safe school.
This book is typed as if it is a case file so you kind of get an origami Yoda feel to it except a little less origami Yoda-ish and plus the antagonist talks to you throughout the story so you can see a little of his POV the main character starts something called "the True Emergency Drill" where he takes the kids most dangers and puts them right into the school ex(drivers fire ect.) so he gets ISS for a whole year and tells his uncle but he doesn't believe his so he has to write his way out of this and that is basically the entire story except for the end. The setting would be in a school and its relevance has to do with a kid filled area, people are wearing "Free Thaddeus" shirts all around the school. Thaddeus wanted people to be truly safe so he made an emergency drill but the principal doesn't like that and gets him in ISS than he writes a case file to prove his innocence.
In my opinion this book has a lot of good twists and turns, my favorite part is when he made the middle hall which is where the "cool kids" get in the hall without causing any attention to their person. If you ask me I think Thaddeus needs to be principal because he knows how to set moral standards for the school and safety.
Speaking for myself this is probably one of my favorite books and I actually want to read it again some time. In my own conceit this is truely one of the best books I have read because it has character and story.
I rate this book 5 stars because it has many key elements that many books never have and that is just amazing. I would recomend this book for not only people who love court cases but also fiction. You proboly have been in a court but have you read it first hand?

I am always looking for humorous books to add to the high school collection -- kids like comedy.
Once again I am disappointed. Not about this book, mind you. Hilarious. But the protagonist is a middle-school boy. Same for I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil... Funny, but my guys won't read it because it seems too baby-ish.
This might be a topic for another forum, but I don't understand why our talented authors can't write a funny book about older YAs. (Yes, there's humor to be had, but usually in conjunction with a romance of some sort.) My gut feeling is that there's way too much drama in high school; every little thing is life or death!

One of the funniest books I've ever read! Seventh grader Thaddeus has been sentenced to ISS for the rest of the year, and he is out to prove his innocence.
Things Thaddeus is Accused of:
1) Running over someone with a school bus
2) Trying to kill old people with citrus
3) Setting his pastor on fire
4) Destroying the careers of aspiring artists
5) Costing the community $50,000 in emergency responsive services
Cleverly written with a sprinkling of hilarious illustrations, this makes a great read-alike for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading.

This book is very entertaining. Thaddaeus basically has the people skills of Dr. Sheldon Cooper from “The Big Bang Theory” without the genius to back it. He is an intelligent boy, but not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. The situations Thaddeus gets himself into are funny and, unfortunately, believable. The comedic situations balance out the serious moments from Thaddaeus’ personal life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Also, I recommend it to anyone who wants to work with kids.

Very Funny kid book
June 6, 2011
Thaddeus is a quirky, funny, over-the-top middle school student who wants to do nothing more than re-think the ways things are done and make suggestions for improvements. These solutions include making a church service more fun (such as playing an electric guitar at the beginning of the service), the “appropriate” rules for the slug-bug game, and promoting nutrition for the elderly (including giving those who don’t have teeth oranges…yeah, not the best situation). However, Thaddeus’ suggestions are not always really the best solution and he ends up getting in quite a bit of trouble, including getting in school suspension for the rest of the school year.
This book, made up of notes, journal entries, e-mails, illustrations and more, gives Thaddeus’ defense for all of the actions he’s taken to try to make improvements. This format for the book is one that makes the book really accessible, especially for reluctant readers, and is a great readalike for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
Thaddeus is presenting his case to the school principal, Mr. Cooper, who has placed him on in school suspension. At the beginning of the book, most of Thaddeus’ peers think he’s kind of strange. Yet, by the end of the book even though they might not fully understand him and his actions, they respect him more. Throughout the book, there are small points made that let readers know Thaddeus’ father has recently died, but it does not consumer the book or become overly emotional. Mr. Cooper automatically assumes Thaddeus is a problem student, but when he finds out Thaddeus’ circumstances, he gets a better understanding of him as a person. Now, Mr. Cooper doesn’t just let him off the hook, but he looks at Thaddeus in a new light.
The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter is a great book that incorporates a wide range of information, including true facts and tidbits, while containing plenty of humor and indirect action. Having the “chapters” broken up by Thaddeus’ specific incident, makes this a good book to be able to read a little, put down, and pick up again without feeling like you might have forgotten what you have read. Although female students will enjoy this, especially those looking for an alternate format book, I think this will definitely be one of my new go-to books to book talk to middle school students, especially boys.

As a parent and an educator, I found Thaddeus infuriating! But I know my students will find him to be hilariously outrageous. Once I stopped reading this book with an adult's perspective and started just reading it for the wonderful entertainment it provides, I found myself really enjoying it.
Gosselink has created a character that only a mother (or perhaps a tolerant and patient teacher) could love. To put it simply, Thaddeus is so full of himself, so convinced that he knows all and can do all and everyone should bow to his superior intellect. (I did find myself wondering if Thaddeus ever gets out of in-school-suspension would he grow up to be another Sheldon from TV's Big Bang Theory.) Thaddeus is a good kid with a good heart - he just doesn't see the flaws in all of his schemes. And when they fail, it couldn't have possibly been because they were flawed - the failure is always due to someone or something else - at least it's that way in Thaddeus' mind.
This is a laugh out loud read, perfect for 5th graders and above who enjoy Diary of a Wimpy Kid and want to move on to something just as humorous, but perhaps a little more advanced.
Recommended for Grades 5 - 8th.
Mrs. Archer's rating: 4 of 5.

This was probably one of the most hilarious books I;ve read this year. Maybe I laughed so hard because as a teacher, I could see how exasperating this child could be. Yet, I could also see some things from his perspective. I kept asking myself what kind of man this kid would grow up to be with all of the energy he had.
When Thaddeus ends up in ISS, sentenced there for the rest of the year, he starts planning his case, just like a lawyer would. The letters to the principal, his attorney uncle are absolutely hilarious. I loved reading how this kid's mind worked. As I read the paper he wrote about quotes for his American History teacher and the comments she made on his paper, I thought of my own students who choose to write what they want instead of what I assign. Kids who like Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series will like this book. I can't wait to see what my students think of it.

I couldn't finish this one. I wanted to like it, I really did. I love funny books, and this one was labeled as "hilarious", so I was eager to read it. My problem? I found Thaddeus to be entirely obnoxious and disrespectful to authority, and because of that, his side of the story wasn't funny to me. I tried to imagine him as a kid who is smart but genuinely socially clueless about how his speech is perceived by others, but I just couldn't see him as anything but a smart aleck.
Clearly, a lot of people didn't see it that way, because the book has some great reviews. Yet another reminder that not every book is for every reader, and that's okay. Chalk another one up to the beauty of personal choice in reading! :)

This book is hilarious! I laughed till I cried more times than I can remember. Not sure if kids will get all the humor when Thaddeus is trying to help but is really being insulting. One of my favorite parts is the assigning of parking spots to teachers by BMI, yes body mass index, with a "fit and trim row" closest to the building, the "heart attack waiting to happen row" in the middle and in the back row, the "whoa put down that doughnut fatso row!" All to help fight obesity, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer since "the fatties will inevitable lose weight from the longer walk." I do agree with the criticism that Thaddeus shows no growth or change in attitude whatsoever which made me wonder if he (and maybe his dad) weren't autistic to some degree. Still, hilarious.

Thaddeus is hilariously obnoxious. I really enjoyed the format of the novel - we get the details of the past events through emails, letters, illustrations, reports, and more. I'm not sure whether middle-grade readers will find Thaddeus more hilarious or more obnoxious, but I think most will see the humor in the many unintended consequences.
My only complaint is that I think it is strange that the principal never imagines that some of the grander episodes may have something to do with the death of Thaddeus' father. How would you not figure that escalating troubles that happen after the death of a parent might be related to the loss? Fortunately, that is addressed near the end of the story. Better late than never, I guess.

Maybe journal, diary, notebook, blog-kind-of-boks just aren't my thing, but Thaddeus for sure wasn't. The humor seemed too forced and to be quite frank, it verged on annoying. There were times I just wanted to put the book down and move on.
It's obvious what the author is trying to do--show us how this boy is misunderstood. Hey, there is nothing I like better than a misunderstood kid, but it all came across as overblown and absurd.
I really wanted to like this book, especially when I was about to give up on it and skipped to the acknowledgements page and I saw how much the author thought of his humor and the idea, but I have to be true to my gut as I was reading/slogging through this book...

Like the premise, design, and voice. (Thaddeus reminds me a bit of the protagonist of Josh Berg's I'm a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President.) Clever idea, well executed design-wise (along the lines of the Klise sister books -- Regarding the Fountain, etc) and a lot of fun to read. Loved Thaddeus' voice and those of his classmates. I did feel that the specific underlying family situation could have been better developed (particularly in the memos and such written by adults). Was a bit too subtle for me, but I suspect kid readers won't care a whit.
June 11, 2011
Great story. Similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, and Popularity Papers in that text is presented in numerous formats. I enjoyed this story more than the others in similar format. Thaddeus i a character that the reader can relate to yet empathize with as well. His father passed away, he tries to improve things in school, with disastrous results, which result in his 41 plus days of ISS, and his is extremely smart. His defense summary combined with letters from the principal, teachers, and students, and some drawings help to break up the text which is substantial compared to the Wimpy Kid series. Over all, a great choice for reluctant readers 4th grade and up.
August 11, 2011
Just OK. Suffers by comparison with "Milo: Sticky Notes and Brain Freeze," which also tells the story of a middle-school boy who is dealing with the death of a parent. Thaddeus does not grow or change in any way throughout the book, and thus the novel did not have emotional resonance for me. (Perhaps the point was that the adults changed a little bit in their greater compassion for Thaddeus, but I also wanted some change on the part of Thaddeus himself). I also found the timeline of the plot to be a bit unclear. There were definitely some laugh-out-loud moments, however, and the design is interesting and seems to play off of and expand upon the almost graphic novel-ness of "Wimpy Kid."
January 9, 2017
Entertaining and funny. However, there are a lot of negative qualities and comments by the hero so younger readers need to be able to parse this as sarcasm and facetiousness. Furthermore, there is an old-school attitude toward being overweight and being a bad teacher presented in the book that I think is a stereotype that should not be perpetuated. Finally, this book does not mention this explicitly but seems to be about white middle/upper class kids. There is a distinct set of privileges that are implied by the story. It is enjoyable and would make a great book to discuss with students to highlight these issues.
October 22, 2010
In this book, Gosselink combines "case files", journal entries, post-it notes, and emails to come to the defense of one Thaddeus A. Ledbetter who is soooo in trouble. Thaddeus has been put on in-school suspense FOR A YEAR! Thaddeus is also on the outs with the Boy Scouts of America though he is the most prepared boy in the world. Kids will love this tongue-in-cheek defense of a boy with nothing but good intentions and big ideas. In the spirit of Lemony Snicket, the book is filled with new words and Thaddeus' (mostly true) Fun Facts.
January 9, 2011
I loved the unique format of this book. Poor Thaddeus on a quest to improve his school, church, and scout troop without the benefit of thinking his actions through, finds himself permanently assigned to ISS. The book is his self defense, written to his principal, of why he believes he is being mistreated. His fun facts and word etymologies are a sneaky way of giving readers a little extra education. He actually has some really deep insights to the problems of education today probably because the author was a teacher himself. I actually laughed until I cried in several places.
October 27, 2010
Super smart seventh-grader Thaddeus presents evidence that he hopes will get him out of in-school suspension. I liked all the pictures, "fun facts", email, notes, "prison" journal entries...you definitely won't get bored by the format of the book. I can see fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid liking this. There's a hilarious part where Thaddeus questions the "artists" who come to perform in his school library (Question for the folk singer: "Do you still live with your parents? I get the feeling you do." And who knew the rules of Slug Bug could be so complex?
May 30, 2017
I loved this book!! But then again, I am biased, considering Mr Gosselink was my 12th grade English teacher. Random fact: the signatures of the students on page 190 are the fakes names he asked our class to come up with!! Toni Bolyn and Katherine Howard were me, and Phoebe Halliwell and Jane Seymore were my best friend Chelsea
But anyways, this book is wonderful! It isn't written like a typical book, instead told through the various forms and letters concerning Thaddeus and his misbehavior. It's hilarious!

This book was amusing but the style was too chaotic for me. Reading it gave me a bit of a headache and made me feel like I had an attention deficit disorder. Maybe I am just starting to get old.
I think kids would like the format but the vocabulary and some of the humor may be a little too advanced for many (although the "Thaddeus Facts" do define some of the more troublesome vocabulary).

My little brother brought this book home and I started it because I didn't have anything else to read. I read it in a litttle over a day, and I laughed all the way thru it. High school kids don't get enough funny books like this one. My little brother is in 3rd grade and he thought it was kinda hard. This guy needs to write more funny stuff for teens. We need more books that have kids telling teachers not to be so boring.

2015 Popsugar Challenge: book that made me cry (ok I just teared up but I'm counting it).
Funny how Thaddeus is "misunderstood". I think it's a great story that makes kids inference aLot.
Thaddeus just wants to help the world work smarter not harder...like his dad did. he's just gone overboard since his passing & rubs the staff the wrong way with his condescending tone. All is informative notes to Principal Cooper were hilarious.

A funny book perfect for kids ready to move on from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." It's the collected papers of Thaddeus's defense for getting out of permanent in-school suspension. This sounds like it's told from the point of view of the jr. high version of the main character from the movie Rushmore (and if you haven't seen that hysterical movie what are you waiting for?).
August 12, 2011
Holy cow, I really liked this book. I hope the library gets it soon, so I can recommend it to kids! Thaddeus is one of those kids-thinks he is the smartest person in the world, and is therefore really annoying but also secretly hilarious. I really like the style of the book, and the fact that there is an underlying sweetness to it, even though Thaddeus is a legendary troublemaker.
January 4, 2012
I enjoyed the format of the book. It was new and refreshing. I think it may be difficult for middle schoolers because there is a lot of inferencing and the need for patience as the story develops. At times the main character frustrated me because he was pretty self-centered...more so than most middle schoolers. Might be an interesting study for a student teaching class.
March 14, 2016
This one has lots of appeal for Wimpy Kid fans. The book is written in letters, notes, diary entries and discipline referral forms. It is filled with pictures, fun facts and vocabulary, and cleverly reveals to the reader a story of a grieving young man who gets himself into one problem after another. Poignant and laugh-out loud funny by turns.
January 24, 2011
The humourous story of a boy who is placed on In School Suspension for the rest of the year. The story is written by the main character as he tries to defend himself against the allegations and explain that he really had the best intentions at heart.
