The Dudes Adventure Chronicles #1
Save the Dudes
A Dude in peril? Operation Destiny is a go! Five 5th-grade friends swing into action and Sherwood heights will never be the same! Middle-grade readers love the zany, action-packed, adventure! A ninja stealth picnic? Supervillain jail? Zombie apocalypse anyone? The Dudes are on a mission to save Nate from the peril of private school. But code-names, battle training, and a camp-out of doom don't help as much as you'd think they would. Besides that, the girl next door has a teacup-sized pit bull, Tyler's mom has banned "screen time", and there's the rising cost of fake blood. Can the Dudes use inadvisable stunts and madcap plans to save the day? That's how they roll!

For intermediate readers 8-12 who can't get enough madcap adventure and hilarious hijinks.

Funny classic adventure for suburban kids.
I wrote this book with my own kids in mind.
No fart jokes or cursing. Just creative adventure and zany hijinks for the modern generation. This is a great summer read for kids. Or enjoy the stories together as a family read-aloud.

Dude, this is where it all started. I'm the author, so I should know. And the Dudes' adventures are epic. You won't want to miss how we make the most out of summer!

Of course I love the Dudes since I'm the author, but, if you're into listening to books, you'll love Mark Sanderlin's narration of this audiobook version. He launches all the humor so you can catch it, if you know what I mean. Also love his work on other books. He totally sounds like how I figure I will sound when I'm grown up and, you know, cool and everything.

As one of the authors, I am so pleased with how the audiobook came out. Mark Sanderlin's reading is right on point: a little dry and having a good time with the story. Also, I used to record my own voice reading the Dudes for my kids, and I know how hard it is to get it right. I believe this is a new avenue for Dudes readers to enjoy the zany Dudes stories.
