Kate DiCamillo and Jon Scieszka, Paul Feig, Jack Gantos, Jeff Kinney, David Lubar, Adam Rex, and David Yoo.  Even if you're one of those guys who hate reading, you're guaranteed  to love the book Guys Read | Funny Business because the stories are short, the writing is interesting and every one had me laughing.

Guys Read | Funny Business is the bomb.  It was so good I started re-reading it the moment I was finished.  Boys of all ages are guaranteed to love this book.

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo


Despereaux is the youngest in a mouse family.  He is different than the other mice, he does not scurry or cower or do anything else a normal mouse would do.  One day while trying to learn how to scurry, Despereaux meets Princess Pea and instantly falls in love.  Unfortunately it's a big no-no to fall in love with a human when you're a mouse.  Despereaux finds out that Princess Pea has been taken down to the dungeon by an evil rat and he knows is the only one who can save her.  But can he?

I first read The Tale of Despereaux when I was in second grade and I still read it often. I know you will too.
