Title: No More Dead Dogs
Product review: No one likes books where dogs always die in the end. Wallace Wallace, a painfully honest football player writes a disparaging review of Old Shep, My Pal, his teacher's favorite book. As punishment, Mr. Fogelman saddles Wallace with detention: he must miss football practice and sit in on play rehearsal for an adaptation of Old Shep, My Pal.Wallace soon begins to offer advice for the play while under accusation of sabotaging the production from within. Multiple points of view showcase Wallace's tug and pull between football and drama, as he chooses his real and false friends. Each point of view comes from somewhat one-dimensional, but intriguing characters who all learn a little bit about themselves, friendship and loyalty. Earnest, kind and hilarious, Wallace's search for his place among the confusing antics and comedic aspects of middle school - from hysterical teachers to love sick girls - gives this story a grand appeal for young readers.
