A Dude’s best friend is his dog!
It’s summertime, so Deven gets a new video game, Grandad gets a new used RV, and Jayden finally gets a dog! You know how it is with dogs--you want to take them everywhere:
On a police chase
Up the elevator
On the roof
To the theater
See how the Dudes handle a bear’s snack attack, rooftop ammo retrieval, and soccer-bombs from the Treehouse of Doom! Get the most out of the Dude days of summer in Dudes Dog Days!
The Dudes are a diverse group of preteen boys with awesome ideas for IRL action. These five best friends find clever ways to have fun and, incidentally, turn their suburban neighborhood upside down!
The Dudes Adventure Chronicles is a modern series for intermediate readers 8-14 who are looking for laughs. Each chapter book provides several realistic capers that keep kids reading to find out how it all comes out--or doesn't, with hilarious consequences!
This diary of Dude-approved adventures is filled with classic boy fun like: battles, corny jokes, zombies, treehouses, secret codes, and summer fun!
Spoilers: Classic humor without movie tie-ins or fart jokes! Appeals to kids who like funny, realistic fiction without a tacked-on message or ripped-from-the-headlines problem. Lacking in butts, farts, and crude humor, this series is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman, Dave Pilkey, Jeffrey Brown, Mike Lupica, Gary Paulsen, and Kwame Alexander.
If they like Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins or Barbara Robinson's The Worst Best Christmas Pageant Ever, they'll love the Dudes!
Warning to Parents: The Dudes’ insane take on parents, school, and the PTA just might be catching. Anecdotal evidence suggests that readers of the Dudes may imagine some resemblance between the Dudes’ parents and their own.
Classic summer reading. Lends itself to read-a-louds that have the whole family cracking up. Makes a Great Gift for smart kids who need some laughs.
