I always love stories with a flair for the bizarre. Inside Welcome to Slacksville you get to know the people in the weirdest town in America. Or at least one of them.
First, about the book:
Enjoy fifteen wacky stories about Slacksville, the strangest town you’ll ever read about! In Slacksville, food fights are mandatory, school musicals can literally spin out of control, and a mythical creature might just show up at a birthday party. Even their pizza is a little weird. This first book in a silly new series is sure to be enjoyed by readers of books like Wayside School and The Day My Butt Went Psycho; also perfect for family read-alouds that will have everyone giggling.
My Review:
Like I said, this was a really fun read. It’s one of those collections of stories that left me with a smile on my face the whole way through. It’s a wonderful light-hearted read for the summer too! I have a hard time focusing this time of year, and books like this is like having a glass of sweet iced tea.
A few of my favorites in the collection:
- Food Fight — About a very weird food fight encouraged by the school!
- Stuck on the Roof — About a kid that loves to learn boring.
- Go Tapeworms — About a very weird cheer
Overall, though, this is a fun read to enjoy with your child. I can’t wait to see more from the author!
