Highly Scientific Record

Not every story begins with a grand adventure. Sometimes it starts with a school counselor handing you a notebook and saying, “Write your thoughts and college to do list.”

For the reluctant narrator of Highly Scientific Record, journaling is supposed to be “therapeutic.” Instead, it becomes a running log of awkward moments, questionable choices, disasters, and the unexpected truths he starts uncovering about himself along the way.

Between unfinished homework, high school friendships/relationships, and family moments that hit harder than he wants to admit, this notebook slowly turns into something more than an assignment. It becomes a place where humor and honesty collide, where bad days don’t always stay bad, and where ordinary life reveals how messy, confusing, and meaningful growing up can be.

Funny, vulnerable, and quietly inspiring, Highly Scientific Record invites readers into the everyday chaos of adolescence - and reminds us that sometimes the most important stories are the ones we never planned to tell.
