Gordon Korman is hilarious for young readers. In this book a boy must write a glowingly positive book report about "Old Yeller," which he detests. His honesty results in being repeatedly required to redo the assignment. The boy devises a clever scheme to satisfy his teacher while remaining honest. As is typical in all of Korman's books for children, the laughs build up throughout the story until the extravagantly outlandish, no-holds-barred grand finale.
