Everyone treats Wallace Wallace like a hero. People congratulate him because he scored the winning touchdown for the football team. In truth, Wallace is a pretty bad player. Aside from the one touchdown, he has never been much but a benchwarmer. Wallace cannot tell a lie. Even when his neighbor asks him if her cake tastes good, he says it tastes "like vacuum cleaner fuzz" because it is the truth. So when his teacher Mr. Fogelman asks him for a review about Old Shep, My Pal, he needs to tell the truth. Wallace hates the book because, in books like that, the dog always dies. As punishment, Mr. Fogelman orders him to be in the play, which is Old Shep, My Pal until he writes a proper review. Wallace stubbornly refuses to praise the book, so the detention drags on for one month. During that time, Wallace begins to change the "unrealistic" play. Soon, the play is hardly recognizable, but better. Just when it is going smoothly, Someone starts sabotaging the play. Who would do it? Wallace suspects one of his teammates, but is he correct? This book made me laugh out loud., and that is not a lie. I recommend this book to anyone who likes funny stories.
