When we were growing up, we all had that friend who was just a bit
larger than life.
That kid who tried things.
Adults loved them. Kids loved them.
Bad things never seemed to affect them.
They lived a charmed life.
And we sidekicks desperately wished we could be the same.
Stu Stories, the Adventures of Dirt Clod and his sidekick Bird Bones
is a fun, crazy, highly entertaining series of adventures featuring just such a
kid.
Stu Sanderson, alias Dirt Clod.
Who, on his way to becoming an
eighth-grade legend, challenges knights, does magic, kidnaps the teacher’s
marker box, reads minds, disappears in the middle of class . . .
And never uses a door to enter his home.
Even when life goes horribly, terribly wrong,
Stu never loses his charm. Or his sense of humour.
I want to be just like Stu.
About the book:
Stu Sanderson is no ordinary eighth-grader. Not only is he seven feet tall, but he also vanishes into thin air, duels knights and ninjas, lifts the downtrodden, and woos the best-calved girl in school. Become a middle-grade legend with Stu and his sidekick, Bird Bones, on the journey of a lifetime in “Stu Stories.”
