Okay Boys - this one's for you! Jon Scieszka edited this collection of stories that are just what you love. There is just the right amount of humor, scary stuff and things that will gross you out.
This book has stories by all of your favorite authors: Mac Barnett, Eoin Colfer, Christopher Paul Curtis, Kate DiCamillo & Jon Scieszka, Paul Feig, Jack Gantos, Jeff Kinney, David Lubar, Adam Rex, and David Yoo.
The story by Eoin Colfer, titled Artemis Begins, talks about Eoin's prankster brother and how he based the character in Artemis Fowl on him. There's a goofy history project that just doesn't work out, a crabby old grandpa with great memories to tell, and an evil turkey who takes over a household. One of my favorites was called Dear Lady Author. It's co-written by Jon Scieszka and Kate DiCamillo, and it shares the story of a boy who has to write to an author for a school assignment. He asks her questions, but her answers aren't anything like he thinks they should be.
And you recognize those other authors, right? Christopher Paul Curtis wrote Bud, Not Buddy. Jack Gantos wrote the Joey Pigza books. Jeff Kinney? I'm sure you know him as the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
These fun stories are sure to get you excited about reading - so check them out!
