| Summary |
Fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and humorous historical fiction will embrace this follow-up to My Near-Death Adventures (99% True!), which Publishers Weekly called an "exuberant first novel." It is 1895 Michigan. But now, instead of helping out rough-and-tumble lumberjacks, Stanley Slater (aka Stan the Man) must go to school. And on top of that, he has to look after Cuddy, a younger boy, before and after school. When his ne'er-do-well father shows up in town, Stan finally has a chance to meet the man he's dreamed about for so long. Plus, it will give Stan a chance to impress the infamous Captain Slater. (Stan is a whiz at impressing people, he doesn't mind saying.) But Captain Slater isn't quite what Stan expected. In fact, Stan isn't so sure he wants to be like his dad-Captain Slater-at all. Praise for My Near-Death Adventures (99% True!) "A knee-slapper of a debut ... ' 100 percent engaging."--Kirkus Reviews "Hilarious and heartbreaking ... ' 99-100% fantastic."-Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal An "exuberant first novel."-Publishers Weekly "Stan's story is full of his hilarious misunderstandings and overactive imagination. Interspersed throughout are pictures and news clippings embellished with wisecrack remarks, speech bubbles, and the occasional mustache."-Booklist "The humor and accessible format may make this a diverting quick pick for historical fiction fans."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. |
