| Gr 5-8–Building on the success of Guys Write for Guys Read (Viking, 2005), Scieszka continues his mission to take the “reluctant” out of readers with this first volume of the “Guys Read Library.” For this title, Scieszka invited some of today's top writers of children's fiction to contribute a humorous short story. Not surprisingly, the resulting compilation has something for everyone. Looking for a story heavy on the ick-factor? Suggest Jack Gantos's “The Bloody Souvenir,” in which the Pagoda brothers return to wreak more havoc. David Yoo's “A Fistful of Feathers” features a bloodthirsty turkey intent on destroying the narrator's life. Eoin Colfer offers an autobiographical piece that shares how his younger brother was his real-life inspiration for Artemis Fowl. Kate DiCamillo and Scieszka team up to offer a hilarious correspondence between Joe and an author who knows how to hold her own with unmotivated students. While these shorter stories may not have the liveliness of the authors' full novels, each one is solid, and more importantly, it offers an introduction to that author's style and voice. Don't be surprised if students come seeking longer works by David Lubar, Christopher Paul Curtis, and other contributors after sampling them in this collection. Scieszka promises future volumes featuring other genres, among them nonfiction, sports, and action/adventure.Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| When I select a book for my sons, I look for it to be funny, and to be about things that interest them. With boys, anything with a teenage mummy, a killer turkey, and potty humor will appeal-and this book has all that! With a selection of the best childrens writers in the business, these stories are targeted to help boys find reading fun. There is great creativity and imagination in this volume, which includes tales such as "Best of Friends," about a boy just wanting to take a swim in the world's largest pond of chocolate milk, "A fistful of feathers," about the homicidal turkey (and just in time for Thanksgiving), and "Your question for author here,"a banter between a would-be book report writer and a reluctant childrens book author.
My 7 and 9 year olds, who both love to read, really enjoyed this book. Even though it is geared to reluctant readers, for those who enjoy outrageous characters and gross humor it is great. It is very funny, and the illustrations add to the descriptions of events in the short stories presented. This is Volume I, my children can't wait until Volume 2 comes out. |
