Description/Notes
The whole truth and nothing but ... Nobody understands Wallace Wallace. This reluctant school football hero has been suspended from the team for writing an unfavorable book report on Old Shep, My Pal. But Wallace won't tell a lie-he hated every minute of the book! Why does the dog in every classic novel have to croak at the end? After Wallace refuses to do a rewrite, his English teacher, who happens to be directing the school play Old Shep, My Pal, forces him to go to the rehearsals as punishment. Although Wallace doesn't change his mind, he does end up changing the play ... into a rock-and-roll rendition, complete with Rollerblades and a moped! Gordon Korman has written more than thirty novels for young readers, including Son of the Mob; The 6th Grade Nickname Game, a New York Public Library Best Book of the Year; and the Nose Pickers series.
