New Normal:
Since the pandemic, middle school is not how it used to be. Mr. Isaak's gone virtual, Connor's sandwiches are petrified, and Teresa's flunking out! How do the Dudes handle police anxiety pets, a knowledge invasion, and the rise of Little Dude? In their usual wacky style, of course! See these five friends take on:
- Missing Students
- Missing Teachers
- A Wedding Flotilla, and
- The Return of Stewart Towel
When Principal Gutierrez orders everyone to explore a new identity, the Dudes run with the challenge. You'll LOL when Ryan designs a fashion craze and Tyler learns to ad-lib. Even Tyler's little brother finds a secret identity. But surely nothing strange will happen during 8th grade graduation, right?
Book 8 of the hilarious kids series brings all new adventures for boys who like humor more than a serious message. These kids make their own fun--in-person and out loud! Read the series in any order for wacky neighborhood and school adventures. Take anywhere in ebook format!
The Dudes are a diverse group of preteen boys with awesome ideas for IRL action. The five best friends find clever ways to entertain themselves and, incidentally, turn their suburban neighborhood upside down. A water gun showdown? Sibling superhero? Social media snafu? These post-pandemic kids adjust to the new normal with style.
Fun on an epic scale for tweens! Middle grade readers love the zany, action-packed neighborhood adventures.
The Dudes Adventure Chronicles is a modern series for intermediate readers 8-14 who are looking for laughs. Each chapter book provides several realistic capers that are wacky enough to keep kids reading to the delicious conclusion!
This diary of Dude-approved adventures is filled with wholesome boy fun like: bicycles, field trips, secret codes, superheroes, dart guns, stunts, drones, monkey videos, and military ops. And don't forget...wedding planning?
Praise for (series starter) Save the Dudes:
With one priceless, laugh-out-loud scenario after another, the mother and son team of Johnson and Reynolds delivers a fine tale...
...the story is given depth by emotional challenges each friend must face, described with subtlety.
Readers will likely be eager to read the next adventure.
Hilarious comic mayhem, rounded out by affection and insight. --Kirkus Reviews
Spoilers: Classic humor without movie tie-ins or fart jokes! Appeals to middle grade readers who like funny, realistic fiction without a tacked-on message or ripped-from-the-headlines problem. Lacking in butts, farts, and crude humor, this series is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman, Dave Pilkey, Jeffrey Brown, Mike Lupica, Gary Paulsen, and Kwame Alexander.
If they like Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins or Barbara Robinson's The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever, they'll love the Dudes!
Warning to Parents: This series will NOT provoke serious discussions on controversial topics! However, anecdotal evidence suggests that readers of the Dudes may imagine some resemblance between the Dudes' parents and their own.
Classic reading fun that's not about selling toys. This series also lends itself to read-a-louds that have the whole family cracking up. Fills time on family trips. Makes a great gift or a perfect stocking stuffer.
