Jon Scieszka: Guys Read, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Description

Jon Scieszkas Guys Read Library--a collection of books featuring contributions from some of the biggest names in childrens literature--is already off to a buzzed-about start thanks to the hilarious, star-studded debut title, Guys Read: Funny Business. That book has come together as advertised: a series filled with short stories by some of the biggest names and freshest talent around, but not your typical anthology, something exciting, edgy, visual, one-of-a-kind, and featuring authors from many different backgrounds but who are all kid-tested and teacher-approved. And the reception so far shows that its working: excellent sales, stellar reviews, and a rabid reception from teachers and kids as Jon and the various authors tour the country. For this second installment, weve turned to another perennially popular genre: MYSTERIES & THRILLERS. And the contribitor list is another whos-who of great writing for guys: James Patterson, Anthony Horowitz, Margaret Peterson Haddix, M. T. Anderson, Patrick Carman, Walter Dean Myers, Gennifer Choldenko, Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Matt de la Pena, and Bruce Hale, not to mention Brett Helquist providing cover and interior artwork. Like the first book, it is sure to find an enthusiastic audience with parents, teachers, librarians, booksellers, and kids alike. What more could a guy ask for?
