No More Dead Dogs by Gordon Korman

No More Dead Dogs Gordon Korman always does an excellent job of writing books at an easy reading level that will appeal to older kids. I love this because I'm often working with middle school kids who are reading at a 2nd grade level. When you're twelve and starting to call yourself a tween, Runaway Ralph isn't going to cut it.

In No More Dead Dogs, football *star* Wallace Wallace gets terminal detention for telling the truth, the book that the school play is based on sux. Thing is, detention means watching the play... and Wallace can't help but make suggestions. In the meantime, someone seems to be trying to frame him and he finds out who his real friends are. Very funny, very readable. Somewhere around 4 to 5 stars.
