Summer Reading Is Killing Me
Preview: Hear it

Joe, Fred, and Sam have no idea why theyve been transported to a playground. All they know is that theres a 250pound chicken and its headed straight for them. While Joes racking his brains for the magic words to stop a charging chicken, he suddenly has a flash of whats going to happen next. Its exactly like the book he just read. Turns out Fred put their summer reading list inside The Book (the magic one, that is)?and now theyre destined to spend their summer living stories that were only meant to be read. Only one thing is clear writing a backtoschool book report will be no sweat. Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith also collaborated on Math Curse, The Stinky Cheese Man, and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. Jon Scieszka lives in Brooklyn, New York. Lane Smith lives in New York City.
