Synopsis

Best-selling author Gordon Korman's middle-grade favorite!

Wallace Wallace won’t lie, even if it means detention. And after he handed in a scorching book report of the classic novel, Old Shep, My Pal, detention is just what he’s been handed. He is sure he’s done nothing wrong: he hated every
minute of that book, especially when the dog dies in the end! Why do dogs always die at the end?

Wallace refuses to do a rewrite of his report, so his English teacher, who happens to be directing the school play of Old Shep, My Pal, forces him go to the rehearsals to teach him a lesson on why the story is the way it is. Surrounded
by theater kids who are apprehensive of him, Wallace sets out to prove himself. But not by changing his mind. Instead, he changes the play into a rock-and-roll rendition, complete with Rollerblades and a moped!

A detention sentence sets in motion a quick-......more

করম্যানের নায়কদের মধ্যে এক ধরনের "এক্স ফ্যাক্টর" থাকে। এদের আচরণ একটু বিচিত্র হয়। না চাইতেও লোকজন তাদের বিশ্বাস করে ও বিচিত্র সব ঘটনার জন্ম দ্যায়। "নো মোর ডেড ডগস" এর নায়ক ওয়ালেস হচ্ছে শতভাগ সত্যবাদী। ডিটেনশনে থাকা অবস্থায় তাকে "ওল্ড শেপ, মাই পেল" বইয়ের রিভিউ লিখতে বলা হয়। রিভিউ দেখে ক্ষিপ্ত......more

Goodreads review by Kate

Korman creatively sets up this story like a screenplay with a list of characters at the very beginning of the story. Each chapter “enters” (or features) a different character (1st person point of view). Readers are hooked from the beginning with the humor of his father’s habit of lying. Because of t......more
