Great serries

I love all the books in this series. They are funny and easy to read and each book is a story in itself. I am collecting them all and have read about 10 or so. This is a great book for grades 4-6.

Funnyville

The Wally McDoogle series is my favorite series of books. Bill Myers is my favorite author. I have all of this books, and thought that it was time to review all of his books. My Life as a Torpedo Test Target is definatly one of the funniest books he wrote. Wally McDoogle, a really clutzy kid (and a dorkoid), goes treasure hunting with his 2 friends; Opera, and Wall Street. And all kinda of crazy stuff happens. Like a missing person, starange under water creatures, etc... and of course with Wally there, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. So after screwing everything up, he learns his lesson of greed, and how the love of money can destory everything... even things that didn't do anything wrong. Read it, it's a great book.

This was a great book and very funny.

I am 10 years old. I loved this book. It was funny and kept me laughing. I think Christian kids and non-Christian kids would like this book.

Even my dog liked this book!!

I am 10 years old and really enjoyed this book. It was very suspenseful and exciting. I liked how the author made the main character a total klutz. He had a choice at the end which required him to make a choice of what was right and what was wrong. Overall I thought this book was very humorous and worth reading
