About this product
Product Information
From the legendary author of Hatchet , a laugh-out-loud misadventure 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 father's single-minded pursuit of an off-the-grid existence. His dad may be brilliant, but dumpster-diving for food, scouring through trash for salvageable junk, and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried about what schoolmates and a certain girl at his new school might think of his circumstances--and encouraged by his off-kilter best friend--Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to "retrain" his dad's mindset . . . a crackpot experiment that produces some very unintentional results. This is a fierce and funny novel about family, green-living, and untangling some of the ties that bind from middle-grade master Gary Paulsen.

Reviews
"Breezy and light, with a grounding touch of tenderness, this is both an entertaining solo read and a solid suggestion for family sharing." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Newbery Honoree Paulsen, renowned for his tales of survival, revisits the humor and hijinks found in his Liar, Liar series. Carl's hang-dog descriptions of having to wear pink overalls and ride an 'original creation' bike are funny and endearing, and eternal optimist Pooder is the perfect sidekick to perpetually resigned Carl." -- Publishers Weekly " A comical take on the value of 'positive reinforcement' that's as perceptive as it is playful." -- Booklist "The tall-tale, anecdotal quality of Carl's story is entertaining with its recitation of disastrous, smelly, embarrassing, dangerous, and misguided moments . . . Funny, sure-handed, wise." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Breezy and light, with a grounding touch of tenderness, this is both an entertaining solo read and a solid suggestion for family sharing." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Newbery Honoree Paulsen, renowned for his tales of survival, revisits the humor and hijinks found in his Liar, Liar series.
