When Bob’s new book, Average Boy’s Above-Average Year, comes out, he can’t help but be excited about sharing it with his friends. But he didn’t expect them to play a prank on him! Between the librarian telling him to hush to his classmates checking out other books, Average Boy feels pretty sad. When his friends come through, though, his frown turns upside down as he realizes they are just playing with him. He also answers an important question about being a Christian, even when you don’t feel like it.

Official Average Boy Podcast #85

Bob gets a hamster from a friend at school. Just one problem: he “forgets” to ask his parents. Then there’s the second problem: the hamster turns out to be an escape artist. AB, and his mom, discover this hamster’s Houdini-ness when Mom does laundry and grabs clothes out of AB’s closet. Rats! Oh wait, that’s later in the podcast. Bob’s dad also teaches him a valuable lesson—if you can’t be trusted with little things, then you can’t be trusted with bigger ones.
