Book 83: "Guys Write for Guys Read" by Jon Scieszka


     This book was recommended by Annika Black of the Bridgton Library.  It is one of those books that would be of interest to both the young reader (Gr. 6 to 9) as well as the adult reader looking for something a little different.
    Scieszka has compiled an impressive list of male writers (Stephen King, Daniel Pinkwater, Chris Van Arlsburg, among many others) who contribute short, often lively anecdotes about their boyhood.  As an "extra", a bibliography of each writer is listed so it is easy for the casual reader to find more books by a particular author.
     It is a fun read of true stories from the lives of guys who know how to tell a good story!
