Is honesty really the best policy? For Wallace, it's the only policy. Enter Wallace Wallace, football hero and honest person. Enter No More Dead Dogs by Gordon Korman, the realist fiction book Wallace stars in.
Wallace Wallace can't tell a lie. So when Mr. Fogleman, his English teacher, assigns a book report for Old Shep, My Pal by Zach Paris, things don't go too well. Wallace hated the book - why did Old Shep, the dog, have to die? For writing an unfavorable book review, this football star earns detention. But it's not just any detention. Wallace must attend the rehearsals for the school play, Old Shep, My Pal. Also, when the play starts to be sabotaged, all fingers point to him. Can Wallace save the play from total doom and from sending the audience to sleep?
Gordon Korman builds lots of suspense in this awesome book. You'd never guess who the new Mango is! Also, the ending is quite a surprise. The author also does a good job keeping the reader interested. Every chapter is hilarious! This book will get you strange looks from your friends, wondering why you're laughing so much and so hard.
I would recommend No More Dead Dogs, by Gordan Korman, to anybody who loves humor. Although it's a light read, this book will keep you up until midnight, guessing who messed up the play and who dumped the pepper on the cast. So go to your nearest Borders or Barnes and Noble to buy it - it's worth every penny.
