From bestselling humor author Gordon Korman comes a hilarious middle school story about a boy’s shenanigans to advocate for the unsung heroes of classic literature—dogs, obviously.
Wallace Wallace won’t lie, not even to avoid detention. And after he handed in a scorching book report of
Old Shep, My Pal
, detention is just what he’s been handed. The reluctant school football hero is sure he’s done nothing wrong: he hated every minute of that book—especially when the dog dies in the end! Why do dogs always die at the end?
When Wallace refuses to do a rewrite, he’s suspended from the football team, and forced instead to attend rehearsals of the school play, which is, you guessed it,
Old Shep, My Pal. H
is English teacher thinks this will teach Wallace a lesson, but instead,
surrounded by apprehensive theater kids, Wallace sets out to prove his point. He doesn’t change his mind, but he does change the play—putting his own spin on the story. He knows the audience will love it, but his English teacher… not so much.
With laughs and life lessons,
No More Dead Dogs
celebrates standing up for yourself, creative expression, and of course, dogs.
Perfect for…
