Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This practical advice guide provides insights on how to handle everything from school, family life, and economic catastrophes to what to name (and not name) a new pet.

School topics include potato chips in the shape of celebrities (with Richard Nixon being the biggest crowd-pleaser), Granny’s dentures, and the neighbour’s garbage, to name a few.

On parents, Bart blows the lid clean off dubious but durable parental points such as, "You'll understand when you get older" and the ever-popular "If you cross your eyes they'll stay that way."

Explore religion by stumping the Sunday school teacher with annoying theological questions that examine such controversial faith issues as whether or not people get stuck wearing the clothes they were buried in for eternity once they are in heaven.

Bart Simpson's Guide to Life features Bart Simpson sharing his wacky observations on work, romance, health and fitness, and manners. It offers helpful tips on torturing your siblings without leaving telltale signs and staying up past bedtime, and shows the reader how to befuddle parents and friends by making up a secret language.

Matt Groening, the author, is also known for the "Life in Hell" series.
