Includes an all-new foreword by Jon Scieszka and an excerpt from Knucklehead.ReviewScieszka has put together a diverse and fast-paced anthology of scribblings and stories that deserves a permanent place in any collection serving middle graders. The book features brief contributions from scores of heavyweight authors and illustrators .[T]here s something undeniably grand about this collective celebration of the intellectual life of the common boy. -School Library Journal, starred reviewAbout the AuthorMultiple award-winning author Jon Scieszka grew up in Flint, Michigan, the second oldest and the nicest of six boys. Jon went to school at Culver Military Academy in Indiana where he was a Lieutenant; Albion College in Michigan where he studied to be a doctor; and Columbia University in New York, where he received an M.F.A. in fiction. He taught elementary school in New York for ten years in a variety of positions. He is the author of many books for children including the New York Times Best Illustrated Book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales (illustrated by Lane Smith), the Caldecott Honor book The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (illustrated by Lane Smith), and Math Curse (illustrated by Lane Smith). In addition to his work as an author, Jon also runs a web-based literacy program called "Guys Read" that is designed to encourage boys, particularly reluctant readers, to get involved with books. In 2008, Jon was named the country s first National Ambassador for Young People s Literature, a joint effort of the Library of Congress and the Children s Book Council. During his two-year role as Ambassador, he acted as a spokesperson for children s literature, speaking to groups of parents, teachers, and children to encourage the importance of reading.

A bunch of pieces by a bunch of guys . . . all about being a guy. Some are memories. Some are stories.

You don t even have to read everything. But you do have to complete the quiz at the end of each section, and write an essay on each about-Just kidding.That s exactly what this collection is not. It is not required reading. It s reading to find what you like. And I know you are going to find something in here, because these things are funny, action-packed, sad, goofy, gross, touching, stupid, true, and all very short.Thanks to all of the guys who donated their thoughts about being a guy to this anthology. All the money from this work goes to support my nonprofit literacy program called Guys Read.And it built the new Web site at www.guysread.com.Check it out.Find what you like.Jon ScieszkaBrooklyn, New York2005Robert SiegelThe Day I Threw the Trivia BowlI have a confession to make: I threw the Trivia Bowl.The year was 1988. The place, eleventh grade.In 1988, as an academically advanced (read: geeky) sixteen-year-old, my primary objective in life was the maintenance of my low profile among classmates. I did not want to stick out in any way, especially for anything that had even the faintest whiff of dorkery.Problem was, I happened to be the captain of a formidable four-man Trivia Bowl team that was to represent the school at the countywide Trivia Bowl competition. For a boy prone to nightmares of academic achievement-related mockery, this was not good.The night before the Trivia Bowl, I was freaking. I imagined tha. Nº de ref. del artículo: BKZN9780670011445
