How to Train Your Dad
How to Train Your Dad | Gary Paulsen
2 posts | 2 read
From the living legend and award-winning author of Hatchet comes a laugh-out-loud eco-adventure about a boy, his free-thinking dad and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down. Twelve-year-old Carl is fed up with his dad; he may be brilliant, but bin-diving for food, scouring through rubbish for 'salvageable' junk and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried by what his schoolmates will think and encouraged by his riotous best friend Carl decides to use a puppy-training pamphlet to 'retrain' his dads mindset . . . a crackpot experiment that produces some hilarious results! How To Train Your Dad is a fierce and funny novel about family, friendship and green-living from middle-grade master Gary Paulsen.

This was such a great book about trying to fit in and being yourself. It was sooo funny and Paulsen really captured the way kids talk and tell stories. Expect long sentences and more than a few digressions, but they all contribute to the characters and the story.

A funny, heartwarming & educational middle grade read by bestselling author Gary Paulsen. You probably read his most famous book, Hatchet, back in middle school yourself. This is quite different but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It's witten from the perspective of the main character with the help of his best friend.
