No More Dead Dogs (Paperback, 1st Hyperion Paperback ed)


Ever since Wallace Wallace was little, he has faithfully told the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So when this football hero is forced to report on the book Old Shep, My Pal for his English class, he cannot tell a lie. He feels compelled to inform his teacher that it was one of the worst books he’s ever read. Why does the dog in every classic book always have to die at the end? Not pleased with this report is Wallace’s English teacher, who thinks it’s the best book ever written and who happens to be directing the play Old Shep, My Pal at school. He sentences Wallace to attending the play rehearsals until he can come to his senses. Wallace doesn’t change his mind -- but he does start to change the play. It starts with the suggestion of an added line, and then a pair of Rollerblades, until the play has evolved into a rock-and-roll rendition of the old classic. Gifted storyteller Gordon Korman brings us an engaging story about the hilarious consequences that can result when someone refuses to tell that little white lie.

Gordon Korman has written over thirty novels including The 6th Grade Nickname Game, Nose Pickers from Outer Space and The Monday Night Football Club series, the basis for The Jersey, a Disney Channel show. He lives on Long Island with his family.
