Masters of Disaster
Masters of Disaster | Gary Paulsen
1 post | 1 read
“Let’s face facts: We may be the most boring twelve-year-olds on the planet.” Henry Mosley decides that he and his pals Riley and Reed have got to liven things up. They need to go on some earth-shaking adventures and make a name for themselves. Henry is the mastermind; Riley’s the cautious researcher who’s prepared for anything. And somehow fearful Reed always ends up with the scariest, craziest assignments. Roped into wacky attempts to break world records, reenact scenes from books, solve a hundred-year-old murder, and carry out Henry’s other inspired ideas, Riley and Reed follow their fearless leader everywhere: into the wilderness (truly terrifying), inside a bull-riding ring, into a haunted house, off the neighbors’ roof, and into a cataclysmic collision with explosive life-forms. Gary Paulsen brings all his trademark humor to this fast-paced novel of fun and disaster. From the Hardcover edition.

Might be fine for a narrow selection of older elementary school boys but that's it. No noteworthy female characters and even the boys themselves seemed less like best friends and more like pranksters moving from one crazy experiment to the next. Overwritten with absurd dialogue. Not a good selection for One School One Book! Sorry but the most positive thing I can say is that perhaps it could serve as an example to younger kids how not to behave.
