8.25.15 inc "Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you." That's Bradley Chalkers for you. He's the oldest kid in the fifth grade. He tells enormous lies. He picks fights with girls, and the teachers say he has "serious behavior problems." No one likes him-except Carla, the new school counselor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try. But when you feel like the most hated kid in the whole school, believing in yourself can be the hardest thing in the world.... Louis Sachar is often asked where he gets his ideas for books. "I listen a lot to kids," he says. If what he hears is funny, there is a good chance it will wind up in a book. And according to his fans, Sachar is the author of some of the funniest middle-grade books around, including Dogs Don't Tell Jokes, The Boy Who Lost His Face, Stanley Yelnats' Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake, and Holes, a major motion picture and winner of the Newbery Medal. Louis Sachar lives with his wife and daughter in Austin, Texas. |
