Save the Dudes
About this ebook
Five 5th-grade friends swing into action and Sherwood heights will never be the same! Middle-grade readers love the zany, action-packed, adventure!
It's the summer before 5th grade, and that means a ninja stealth picnic, supervillain jail, and a zombie apocalypse. The Dudes are five friends who set out to save one of their number from the peril of private school. But code-names, battle training, and a camp-out of doom don't help as much as you'd think they would. Besides that, the girl next door has a teacup-sized pit bull, Tyler's mom has banned "screen time", and there's the rising cost of fake blood. Can the Dudes use inadvisable stunts and madcap plans to save the day? That's how they roll!
Book One of The Dudes Adventure Chronicles is a series of realistic but zany suburban adventures featuring a diverse group of boys who know how to make their own fun! For intermediate readers 8-12 who can’t get enough madcap adventure and hilarious hijinks. Each chapter book provides several stories realistic enough and wacky enough to keep them reading to the delicious conclusion.
