Best-selling author Gordon Korman's middle-grade favorite, now with a
fresh look!
Wallace Wallace won't lie, even if it means detention. And after he
handed in a scorching book report of the classic novel, Old Shep, My
Pal, detention is just what he's been handed. He is sure he's done
nothing wrong: he hated every minute of that book, especially when the
dog dies in the end! Why do dogs always die at the end?
Wallace refuses to do a rewrite of his report, so his English teacher,
who happens to be directing the school play of Old Shep, My Pal,
forces him go to the rehearsals to teach him a lesson on why the story
is the way it is. Surrounded by theater kids who are apprehensive of
him, Wallace sets out to prove himself. But not by changing his mind.
Instead, he changes the play into a rock-and-roll rendition, complete
with Rollerblades and a moped!
