Time to multitask! Middle school is the new high school (huh?) and Dudes are low men on the totem pole. What else can they do but create a fake eighth-grader? Along the way, they:
- Create a reality show
- Signal UFO's
- Promote devil worship
- And exert mind control on the student body.
Oh yeah! But can they learn good study skills?
A funny start to required school reading! The Dudes have middle school mastered and so will their readers.
The Dudes Adventure Chronicles is a series for intermediate readers 8-14 who can't get enough madcap adventure and hilarious hijinks. Each chapter book provides several stories realistic enough and wacky enough to keep kids reading to the delicious conclusion. The Dudes are a diverse group of preteen boys whose clever ways to screw up turn their suburban neighborhood upside down.
This diary of Dude-approved adventures is filled with classic boy fun like: battles, corny jokes, carpool chaos, principal pranks, secret codes, and middle school mischief!
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.
If you like Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins or Barbara Robinson's The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever, you'll love the Dudes!
Don't miss the madness in: Dudes in the Middle
Guaranteed not to start serious conversations about controversial issues.
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
Warning to Parents:Anecdotal evidence suggests that readers of the Dudes may imagine some resemblance between the Dudes' parents and their own.
Makes a Great Gift or a Perfect Stocking Stuffer.
Great read-a-loud for the whole family.
Crazy funny!
Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook with terrific voice actor, Mark Sanderlin.
