Spoilers: Fun for kids without movie or videogame tie-ins! Appeals to middle grade readers who like funny, realistic fiction without a tacked-on message or ripped-from-the-headlines problem. Lacking in butts, and crude humor, this series is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman, Dave Pilkey, Jeffrey Brown, Mike Lupica, Gary Paulsen, and Kwame Alexander.
Classic middle grade humor with modern kids and realistic misadventures make for better-than-real-life hilarity. If you like Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins or Barbara Robinson's The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever, you'll love the Dudes!
Warning to Parents:The Dudes’ insane take on parents, school, and the PTA just might be catching. Anecdotal evidence suggests that readers of the Dudes may
imagine some resemblance between the Dudes’ parents and their own.
Makes a Great Gift or a Perfect Stocking Stuffer for preteens. Classic summer reading. Lends itself to read-a-louds that have the whole family cracking up.
