From the legendary author of Hatchet comes a laugh-out-loud middle-grade romp about a boy, his free-thinking dad, and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down.
This middle-grade story falls right in the sweet spot of Gary's lighter work such as Lawn Boy, Liar Liar, and Road Trip.
With a hilarious contemporary plot and engaging main characters, this read is sure to be a home run with those in the "reading is boring" camp!
The main character may have his failings, but underneath the comedy of good intentions is a heartfelt determination to help his father come to terms with his only kid's growing independence.
A peer to Jack London when it comes to dog stories, Gary gives us one of his most colorful canines yet in Carl's half-loving half-terrifying "psychotic landshark" of an animal.
