    About this ebook

    In search of some summertime spending money, a young boy and his friend agree to paint a neighbor's garage. The neighbor allows the boys to come into her house for drinks and bathroom breaks. There's just one rule: don't let her high-energy, low-obedience puppy, Yorgy, out of the house. Unfortunately, that's exactly what they do! Will the boys locate the playful pup before it destroys the town and their chance to get paid? Find out in this side-splitting, rip-roaring chapter book, with an introduction by bestselling author Michael Dahl.

      A LAFFY LAUGH!

      When I was in middle school, my friends recorded me laughing. (They did it in secret.) I guess my laugh sounded so goofy that it made them laugh too. My friends were pretty funny themselves. They told great jokes and hilarious stories. I wish I had written them down. But that gave me the idea to have some of my new friends write down their stories. If you feel a chuckle or a guffaw deep inside while reading, let it out. Who knows–maybe your laugh will end up in a video!

      CHAPTER ONE

      TED SAVONO IS IN TOWN!

      All I needed to do was make some money. Easy, right? I thought so too. But what was supposed to be my summer dream job turned into a summer NIGHTMARE.

      The Monster Madness Convention was in town all weekend, and I really needed to go. Like, really-really.
