No More Dead Dogs
by Gordon Korman
by Gordon Korman
Tired of reading all those award-winning books with dogs on the cover, only to find that the dog kicks the bucket at the end?!
.
So is Wallace Wallace.
.
Wallace Wallace has grown up all his life refusing to tell lies because lies are all he was ever told from his father. This same dad then ditched Wallace and his mom and left them to fend for themselves. So Wallace believes that truth is the only way to go.
.
Unfortunately, Wallace is a little TOO honest. He compares a person's cake to vacuum cleaner fluff and the icing on it to antifreeze. He's never been one to be anything other than VERY blunt with his honesty. And when his English teacher tells him to write a review for the book Old Shep, My Pal, a book where the dog snuffs it in the end, Wallace tells his teacher the truth... bluntly. And the consequences for his honesty include detention in the gym, while the drama club rehearses a play written by his English teacher... a play that just happens to be called Old Shep, My Pal.
.
If you want to read about Wallace Wallace, honesty, dying dogs, and a play that eventually becomes a rock musical complete with rollerblading and a moped, check this book out!
