Great tween sampler by MattCraft |
| Funny Business is a great pick-up for tweens or reluctant readers in middle school or maybe even high school. There are different writing styles and senses of humor represented, so there is something for everyone. And it's a great way to introduce yourself to new writers. Once you find a story you like, you can look for other books by the same author. |
