Review by Pam Marr Rybinski
Wallace Wallace is indubitably one of the strangest names in the genre of young persons’ fiction. However, in Korman’s unique and hilarious plot-line, Wallace Wallace manifests an unusual and clearly over-rated virtue. He always tells the truth . . . succinctly and unadorned by common courtesy.
Because of his “virtue,” he is the bane of his coach, his 8th-grade teachers, and his would-be friends. Somehow, by accident, he becomes the catalyst for many zany and improbable developments, such as a newly-agreed-upon policy of “no more dead dogs.”
Incidentally it is worth mentioning that there are few dogs at all in the book, dead or alive. “No More Dead Dogs” is just dog-gone worth sharing with your favorite pre-teen or teen!
