The Dudes Adventure Chronicles is a series for intermediate readers who can't get enough madcap adventure and hilarious hijinks. Each chapter book provides several stories realistic enough and wacky enough to keep them 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.
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 kids who like funny, realistic fiction without a tacked-on message or ripped-from-the-headlines problem.
Warning to Parents:
The Dudes' insane take on parents, school, and the PTA just might be catching. Anecdotal evidence suggests that readers of the Dudes may imagine some resemblance between the Dudes' parents and their own.
If they like Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins or Barbara Robinson's The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever, they'll love the Dudes!
This diary of Dude-approved adventures is filled with classic boy fun like: battles, corny jokes, zombies, treehouses, secret codes, and summer fun!
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.
Makes a Great Gift or a Perfect Stocking Stuffer.
Great read-a-loud for the whole family.
Crazy funny!
